FO 1.1 doesn't have any defined facility for doing line numbering, but 
in the case of a code sample, where each line is well defined, you can 
easily transform the code lines into a table or list block where each 
line is one row or list item, generating the line numbers and providing 
FO-level IDs for doing the line number referencing.

I don't know of DITA provides any source markup for this--worst case 
you'd have to specialize the "data" element provide a link anchor for 
the lines you want to refer to and some way to set the initial line 
number of a given code block.

Cheers,

Eliot
