My problem with X<> it is that it's disruptive to the readability of the text if
it's embedded and used too much, as it might well be for indexing. I was trying
to navigate a way around that problem. I confess I haven't worked out how to
deal with fine grained references.
I'm not a pod-head, so let me ask a question: Do directives like '= item' have
(or create) a "context" as far as the parser is concerned? That is, a region of
the document they "control"? Associating an index hint with such a context would
be one way to gain fine-grained control.
