My interpretation of it is one or more diagrams of the same set of objects, each diagram including some subset and only a subset of the original set, but otherwise independent of each other.  I haven't used Rational or any other commercial UML tool, so I don't know how it's implemented there, but ERwin has something similar and I use it quite a bit to make less cluttered subschema diagrams of the larger schema.

In Dia, it would be a little tricky to implement in terms of interface design, because it would be very useful for UML/ER diagrams, but perhaps not as useful (or even useless) for the other sheets.

Oh, yes.  I thought there used to be a checkbox for that somewhere under Preferences?  Can't find it now.
