Hi,
Currently when linking to specific places in a document one is limited
to the places the original author made linkable via an anchor <a> tag.
While this is a nice touch (though not well exposed by modern
browsers), the reality is that most of the time the person who writes a
document that links to the original page has a better idea of where
exactly he wants to link to.
Actually, what you link to these days is any element with an ID
attribute.
What you're proposing is to reinvent XPointer.
As originally done most of a decade ago. There may still be traces
available via http://jibbering.com/discussion/fuzzy-pointers.html
