The smallest "text" unit is an Implementing Rule (IR) paragraph, as I understand. Are there plans to develop the XML scheme to also handle sub-paragraphs (a), (b), (c) etc., like ADR.OR.D.005(a)? The reason for this question is, that EASA tends to combine several compliance topics/subjects in one IR. But one often has to handle these compliance topics separately (e.g. in manuals).

Answer
The topic is currently the smallest content unit with a unique identifier. However, we are working on enhancing the content architecture, with sub-topic level elements and semantic tagging.
With respect to a book-like structure for Easy Access Rules (chapter/section/paragraph/ etc.), we use a more dynamic model where the <heading> and <toc> elements, which can contain either a child <toc> and/or a topic, represent all levels above the topics. We think this structure is more suitable to be used in different applications e.g. in portals.
