Is seems that p13/2 as a "name" target is legal in HTML, but not in 
XHTML. In addition, IIUC the use of the "name" attribute is deprecated 
in favor of the "id" one, and XHTML5 even has dropped it.

"id" values don't allow slashes. But slashes could be easily converted 
to hyphens or underscores, if browser standard compliance really 
matters. So we could write <RM-A-3-2.html#p13-2>, for instance

In addition, if old and new browsers have to be supported, I believe it 
is also possible to have both "id" and "name" target attributes with 
exactly the same, duplicated value.
