Patrick> what are these?

latex.ltx does this:

\DeclareTextSymbolDefault{\textparagraph}{OMS}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\P}{\ifmmode\mathparagraph\else\textparagraph\fi}
\DeclareTextSymbolDefault{\textsection}{OMS}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\S}{\ifmmode\mathsection\else\textsection\fi}

fontmath.ltx has:

\DeclareMathSymbol{\mathparagraph}{\mathord}{symbols}{"7B}
\DeclareMathSymbol{\mathsection}{\mathord}{symbols}{"78}

and omsenc.def, ts1enc.def & t1enc.def each define \textsection and
omsenc.def & ts1enc.def each define \textparagraph via \DeclareTextSymbol
commands.

Grep though $(find $TEXMF/tex/latex -type f) for more.

In short, latex2e defines those to directly access certain glyphs in
certain textmode encodings.
