As a doctoral student, I'm pretty much stuck with having to reference printed page numbers, but I'd like to see a transition to paragraph numbers in the future, to better support electronic reflowable documents. I think we'll have to support both for the foreseeable future, to allow references to pre-electronic documents, even those that have been converted to digital form. Some kind of embedded semantic tagging for each of these methods of identifying text location that can be shown or hidden at will would be great.
