Are there any nice tools for resolving cross references like this in a body of text?
I don't deal with legal documents enough (luckily) to have ever really needed this, but it would be a nice thing to know how to use if needed, or on creative document sets. Essentially I'm asking for something where I can import a set of machine readable text (or OCR'd) set a grammar for references in context and then easily click through. If it's easy enough to extend the grammar I could probably link new things up as I go when new kinds of references pop up. Trying to get too smart about things like acronyms might be a step too far though, I want to be able to trust this tool completely.

I don't think any executive branch agencies use it though, unfortunately Not the same XML format (s), but regulatory material (both Federal Register and CFR) is also published in XML. The Government Printing Office has a Bulk Data Repository with the machine readable (largely XML) forms of legislative, regulatory, and a bunch of other documents: https://www.govinfo.gov/bulkdata https://www.govinfo.gov/bulkdata
