i'm slightly bemused to hear that mathematicians now require special
_hypertext_ as well as everything else. but I'd point out that a link
embedded in a PDF document should be able to be expressed in XPointer
syntax perfectly well, which helps a little. I'd agree that internally
the PDF model is simplistic - but then who *has* implemented anything
better in mainstream software?
