[erlang-questions] Get grandchild pid when using nested supervisors?

I'm attempting to use nested supervisors, as follows:
Top -> A (simple_one_for_one) --temporary--> B (one_for_one) --transient--> W
The point of this is so that, if W crashes, it gets restarted
according to B's strategy, but that -- if the restart intensity is
reached, A is _not_ killed (because it's supervising a large number of
B->W pairs). There's only one W for each B.
So, the first question: is this sane? Or is there a better way to
implement this?
Assuming it is sane, my second question:
Calling supervisor:start_child(A, []) returns {ok, BPid}, where I
really want WPid. What's a sensible way to get hold of it?
Thanks,
Roger.
