<p>We save positional information in the main utility table. Not only
can we store much more information in <l n='lua'/> but it's also
more efficient.</p>

-- plus (extra) is obsolete but we will keep it for a while

-- maybe replace texsp by our own converter (stay at the lua end)
-- eventually mp will have large numbers so we can use sp there too

-- this is one of the first modules using scanners and we need to replace
-- it by implement and friends

-- we could have namespaces, like p, page, region, columnarea, textarea but then
-- we need virtual table accessors as well as have tag/id accessors ... we don't
-- save much here (at least not now)
