There are two different concepts here:
1) These things fit well together (e.g., a picture and the text describing the picture).
2) This location can be sensibly referred to (e.g., "now open up your books at page 42").
I don't think anybody opposes the former concept (it becomes more difficult in e, though, since a reader in some particular configuration can't necessarily fit some given content on the screen at the same time), but the latter concept is simply deprecated.
