So in a sense of <a id="whatever" /><hX>..</hX>? And for LaTeX
\label{sec:whatever}
(The html form will probably change later to allow clickable headers, but
that's another todo, which would probably apply only to HTML)

Thanks for the pointers!

So if I understand it correctly, the Transformer performs sort of
post-processing operations on the document tree?
So instead of doing a (semi-)single-pass build of the tree it would be
transformed several times?
I'm also assuming this is also used to extend annotations use.

Thanks,
