You can probably guess this based on my previous posts, but I strongly agree
with Kim. The old style is _hard to read_; this is especially true for
documents with verbose node-names, where xrefs can become enourmously
distracting.
There was once some technical reason for showing embedded node names --
keeping out-of-band data was too annoying -- but now that there isn't, we
should get rid of them.
[Though I favor the `destructively modify the text' approach, as I thik it
would lead to future weird artifacts]
