The problem that HTML has in this area is that it is being used to make
legal documents, particularly national legislation, accessible, and these
use use section and paragraph numbers as their "hyperlinks".  Unfortunately,
the nature of legal documents is that you cannot safely change their 
appearence in this respect, so section 3a(4) has to remain that, not 
become blue underlined "Use of HTML in Legal Documents".

Using something like DOCBOOK (assuming that it can do this) or Word
(which can, but rarely is written to do so) destroys the accessibility.
