It's intended for uses where you want to say "the measurements of most 
pages in this book are x y z; but it's not guaranteed that all of them

<dimensions> element in ms description.

this is needed for normalising historical data (because e.g. 1 imperial 
flarg of hops is different from 1 imperial flarg of treacle)

<measureGrp>12 x 11 x 4</measureGrp>

(i.e. what used to be inside <dimensions>)

Really, I think the best solution is to bring back <dimensions>!
