You seem to have missed the paragraph 5 symbol I added.

I regularly use the html anchor notation above. :-)

If it wasn't for the fact that our XML is of highly variable quality
I'd simply note that XPath provides sufficient addressability.  But it's
less easy to interact with it in plain text emails and still awkward in
richer formats.

/section[@title='Security Considerations']/t[5]  as an example of the fifth
text block of the security considerations section.
