id values must not start with a number.
So now I just manually type in the paragraph

How is the number built up?
chapter:page:para or something like that?
XSLT (separate pass) could number all the paras within a chapter,
starting with zero, see xslt http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#number
So with a little string concatenation you should be able to
get something like
id='n:3:23' for chapter 3, 23rd para.
If the paras are page numbered though, it will only work if you
have some markup for the page boundaries?
Otherwise you'd have a lot of manual work to do
