This article (written in 2008!) seems to say that there's enough
infrastructure in the epub format to support the linking we need:
http://frontmatters.com/2008/03/29/links-pointers-bookmarks-highlights-how-should-epub-do-it/
It refers to RFC 3987, though I'm not clear exactly how that is to be
used.
That said, I haven't tested the current epub in my reader.
