Keith, I think I see your point, but you might have used a word other than "shoddy" to describe the result of my suggestion. Since cross references seem to get corrupted easily, a document with them has a real chance of getting damaged and being much less useful even than one with plain text cross references.
I'll continue my work by completely finishing the standalone chapters, making PDF versions and pushing all that to the repository. I'll then be ready to upload those to the wiki. I'll need to get access to the wiki and I hope someone can give me some brief instructions on how the uploading is done. When that is complete, I'll continue to work on the full book. That will take a while to carefully check all the cross references.
