Michael asks why you need to identify paragraphs within a document.
The US Consitution may be fairly stable (in an agreed English
version) so byte counts may be useful, but living documents
often have ids for bits of their contents so that you can
refer to them without having to go through the heuristics
"the bit about protocols 2/3 of the way down your message".
This is the classic "how do we make links to living documents"
question -- I think there is a summary of the
issues in
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/DesignIssues/LinkToLiving.html
(Yes there is I just checked)
