which leads back to the question of why didn't they just have static page numbers in the first place. That should make the people who like locations happy because they are the same on every device and just make more logical sense.
I wonder what the person who first decided to use locations thinks of their decision now. I know I look back on programs I wrote years ago and wonder what in the world was I thinking. Since page numbers could be built on a specific number of bytes, implementation of page numbers shouldn't be much different than locations are.
