No, I am not worried about malicious editing of the page-map. I am worried it simply won't exist.

Thus -- avoid page numbers in ebooks.

Well you also need to ignore page numbers in books unless you can guarantee that you have the same edition. Similarly for ADE. And page maps do work. And unicode characters are still characters.
