Well, I don't think #HID2.15:5 is completely unreadable. In "real life" we say thinks like "Take a look at the fifth paragraph in chapter 2.15". If you'd say, "Take a look at the fifth paragraph in the sub-chapter about dogs, which is a in the mammals chapter." won't let you find anything quickly (unless you know the book by heart). ;-) The only unreadable bit in the HID is that you don't necessarily know what 'HID' means. 


All paragraphs in DW I believe start with a p tag, it might be enough
to just enumerate and anchor these if that's what you're looking for.


That's basically what I did with the Purple Numbers. ;-)
