Many style manuals require an exact page reference to quoted text.
With printed books is possible. With HTML the closest anyone can get
is to a chapter.

Style manuals require the most precise citation you can provide.  In
some cases it may be very precise (newspaper article with date,
section, page, column).  In other cases it may be very general (a
film, an oral interview, a telephone conversation).

If the citation is to an URL that happens to be a long "page", so be
it.  If it happens to be a short "page", so be it.

I would reply that the style manuals currently do not incorporate web
documents and need to.

Current editions of some style manuals DO incorporate web documents and
other electronic references.  Check current MLA for an excellent example.
