I agree ... I think there at least three reasons for hyperlinking to
other information ...
a) Define the structure of a collection
b) Reference related information
c) Reference a definition or detailed explanation
I believe mode (b) is what HTML and browsers do reasonably well today
and links become meaningless if used for (c) and clutter the view with
two many links.
And I think coding this differentiation of structural intent must be
dealt with in a future 2.+ level of HTML. My sense for the moment is
that REV/REL and/or ROLE attributes in the HTML 3.0 draft have the
potential for addressing the problem IFF we at least have some set
of pre-defined values to represent these modes. Once the structure is
coded, browsers can differentiate them selves by how well / uniquely
they present this information.
