Ah. I thought paragraph numbers are not supposed to have decimal
points! But the introduction is weird anyway; it doesn't have a
section number. And there are more paragraphs with decimal points
later.

Typically, when refering to a paragraph, we use parens: 

    RM section (paragraph)

As the URL says, the introduction can be called section 0, so
I think the canonical reference to this paragraph is ARM 0 (3.1/2).
