I was working on providing some links to Virgil's poems for a PBB and while I thank you for giving us Perseus for free, including both the Latin and an English translation with a datatype.  Unfortunately, when I was looking up references, I found that they didn't match up.  While I certainly understand why a translator would do this, this does make referencing a bit more difficult.

Would it be possible to have the English tagged with the Latin line numbers?
