In some ebook I resolved the b) situation multiplying the landing places with same content but different "link back" reference (the paper for ebook is free). In your example I could have different Irish Settings entry with same content but different link to return to the correct starting href (Long-Coated Dogs; Hunting Dogs; Family-suitable Dogs... et ceterae), but oblivious this is not a thing I can do in every ebook.
Or, in EPUB3, I can radically change the structure and conception of the index-book, building it as an interactive query that shows in the same page the contents to which it refers, as would a database query, not an index.
But, I understand your point.

In ePub 3, you make this interactive eBook and I go and load it on my Kobo using whatever version RMDSK Kobo is using currently. Will it work? I load this ePub 3 on my Sony Reader and it won't work. Is there any way to sell it as an ePub 3 saying it is not ePub 2 compatible? Not that I know of currently. That's the problem. The problem with ePub 3 is that is that rubbish they added in which is why ePub 3 has not been all that widely accepted.
