Either you cite the PG electronic edition, then page numbers are irrelevant because its faster to just search the cited phrase.
Or you cite the paper edition. Then the rules of citation require you to actually get a physical copy of what you are citing and accurately verify your citation.
To add to the list of possibilities, one can have an XHTML version of the PG text, with internal markup and id's indicating original page information. (If the markup is TEI, then it is possible to use XLink, and the new xml:id now provides a standard way to add id tags to arbitrary XML documents.) In my previous message, I give a few URLs of how this was done in the XHTML demo "My Antonia" project. Jon
