What about "lines=..10"? I think this is more logical compared e.g. with
"lines=5.." and "lines=5..10"

Same here.

No "paras=5.."?

Difference to "SomePage #a..#b"? Does this one include #b?

I really think those are confusing... didn't we have them just a few
lines above already?

Why is this better than using another #b anchor?
