With a structured 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.
