Hello,

I want to mark up some DocBook articles that will be "dependent on" =
resources such as legislation. As an example, say I have a document =
whose content is based in part on Australia's "Spam Act =
(2003)"=E2=80=94perhaps 2 paragraphs in a 10 paragraph article have =
something to say about this act. (The use case will eventually be this: =
the "Spam Act (2003)" has just been amended. Which of my DocBook =
articles need to be reviewed, and, in particular, which paragraphs in =
those articles need to be reviewed?)

At the article level, I would presumably use a bibliography=E2=80=94correc=
t? How could I extend this notion of dependency down to lower-level =
elements (say, section and para)?
