LOL!

Now that really is cool. Add on top of that the fragment identifier idea,
and the dictionary page which appears could be set to only show the
paragraph in question! I like this. I like it a lot :-)

I'm not sure how the url( 'function' would be defined to allow this though.
Maybe it would have to be
url(my/dictionary.html#)+attr(content)
or some such thing.
