Sub-document addressing is not a hard problem for SGML documents. Have
a look at the TEI schemes, or perhaps the HyTime schemes.
Can someone provide a URL for the online TEI specs?
Also, have a look at <URL:http://www.ebt.com/> for a server that has
sub-document adressing capabilities based on the SGML tree structure.
