Possible - but I don't like it for the same reason we don't have sect2 tags as
links in article's. (the next/prev 'fiasco')

Here is my proposal :) For sect2/sect3/sect4/sect5 tags we use the URI
'gnome-db2html2 file.sgml?sect1id#sect2id' - Currently we output anchor tags
whenever we find a sect2/sect3/sect4/sect5 tag - so we just need to modify the
behavior when we find a sect2 within a sect1 (same for sect1 inside a
chapter).


I am not going to work on this until links work with mozilla (otherwise I can
not test it). There might be possible 'issues' with mozilla, or libvfs-help.so
that I would need to handle.
