It _is_ serious. But I am afraid  you must expect such things when one
attempts to bolt new facilities into a creaking architecture like LaTeX.
To do the job really properly, LaTeX would have to have very serious
surgery to its innards, and probably invalidate lots of other packages
along the way. This is why ConTeXt is better, because a) it is a much
later design, which happened when things like hyperlinking were already
known about, and b) it does not have the uncontrolled package mechanism.

Obvious stuff, I know...
