There are two kinds of semantic theories of anaphora. Some, such as Heim's File Change Semantics, Groenendijk and Stokhof's Dynamic Predicate Logic, or Muskens' Compositional DRT (CDRT), seem to require full coindexing of anaphora and their antecedents prior to interpretation. Others, such as Kamp's Discourse Representation Theory (DRT), do not require this coindexing and seem to have an important advantage here. In this squib I will sketch a procedure that the first group of theories may help themselves to so that they can interleave interpretation and coindexing in DRT's way.
