Okay. I replaced the last remaining &link.BOOK; links by bookref's in
the LW books. There are still &link.BOOK; style links in the GS and the
FW books. I'll fix those after I have read HP7 unless someone beats me
to it. ;-)
BTW, I noticed that sometimes <bookref> is enclosed in <cite> and
sometimes <bookref> encloses <cite>. I guess it doesn't matter much,
but nevertheless it might be good to be consistent because that would
ease automatic checking.
Regards,
Ingo
