I think it is much less probable that someone links to a mirror that's
why I ignored this factor.

I've also thought of this and this also looks as a good compromise. We
should do it for chapter and sectX, right? Or is there something else?
Before, we agreed that the XML migration should be done in various
steps but then it means there will be a short interim period until we
get it right with XSLT. Do you think it is acceptable?
