Much legislature is a web of references (to definitions of terms, some law repealing or altering another law,,) But they're not hyperlinked. Their being made/maintained by stupid bureaucratic monopolists (i.e. government) has it understandable. (But not excusable.) Despite this, legislative texts are often (semi-) rigourously formed, so (some) automated hypertextization may be possible. Hypertextizing the (whichever appropriate) legislature would help legislative laïty (and non-laïty) by reducing or removing reference-digging work necessary to have a complete understanding of a law.
