The question is not if there should be numbering but how the numbering should be.
I think I have reached the conclusion that in order for the numbers to work as a reference they would have to be embedded by the publisher in the markup. Since one ebook typically consists of more than one html file a reference file would probably be necessary like in Adobes approach. It all looks more complicated than first anticipated.
One questions that remains is if there are alternatives to page numbering when referring to the length of a text. So far this has not been commented by anyone.
