Dear all,
I just payed attention to the fact that some paragraphs in our beloved RM are labeled with a single number, while others are labeled with something like "number1/number2" (see, for example, http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/12rm/html/RM-1-1-2.html) 

I am just curious about the difference.  I could do a wild guess by saying that "number2" is a kind of "version counter", so that when I say "Paragraph 1/3 of 1.1.2" I always refer to the same text, independently on the document version.

How far did I shoot?

Riccardo
