It is possible to have invisible section and paragraph numbers today on a variety of devices. Any of them that allow inline annotations or hyperlinks can simply have a note that shows up when you come to it. It's not a common feature, probably because not that many very formal documents are electronic yet, but it's not exactly rare.
Sorry, didn't mean to offend. My point was that ebooks offer a very large amount of potential flexibility not usable in static pages. Not all of it is used yet, and no one device or renderer uses all the possibilities, but it's there for anyone who wants to try.
I'm not particularly against pages, I'm against locking them in as the only view into a document. There's really no need with an ebook.
