UTS #35 uses a variety of patterns for referencing sections. It would be better to establish some consistency for referencing and linking to sections rather than the following examples.
“Part <number>: Section <id> <title>”, e.g. “Part 1: Section 4.3 Likely Subtags”
“Part <number>, Section <id> <title>”, e.g. “Part 1, Section 3.2.1 Canonical Unicode Locale Identifiers”
“Part <number> Section <id> <title>”, e.g. “Part 6 Section 2.1.1 Subdivision Containment”
“Part <number>: <part title>: Section <id> <title>”, e.g. “Part 6: Supplemental: Section 2.4.1 Preferred Units for Specific Usages”
“Part <number> <part title>, Section <id>, <title>”, e.g. “Part 2 General, Section 3, Character Elements”
“Part <number> <part title>, Section <id>, <title>”, e.g. “Part 2 General, Section 3.3, Index Labels”
“Part <number> <part title>, section <id> <title>”, e.g. “Part 4 Dates, section 4.4 Time Data”
“Part <number> <part title>, Section <id> <title>”, e.g. “Part 2 General, Section 10.1 Inheritance”
I prefer the last of these, and will be adopting it in ECMA-402 until specific guidance is documented here (which would be much appreciated).
P.S. Any fix for this should also make linking more consistent, ideally always present and covering the full reference rather than e.g.
<strong>Part 3: <a href="https://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-numbers.html#Contents">Numbers</a></strong>, Section 2 <a href="https://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-numbers.html#Number_Elements">Number Elements</a>.
