But that's really the same thing. Within a book you say "see page 22", citing an external source I say "Nomen Nescio, Book Title (Dodge City, 2010), p. 22" (or whatever the style guide I'm using asks me to).

It's worked in the bible very well for hundreds of years.
Laws, too (I'm a law librarian) where you quote article, section, subsection, paragraph, littera and what not. But these are specialist usage scenarios. I don't see that catching on in general literature.
