Again, Misha's wording is better. Al PS: Not Americanism, just Constructivism. [The degree of] consistency between pages is the inverse of [the degree of] difference between pages. Talking about consistency "between" pages presumes that the consistency relation is a binary relation and is applied pairwise to all possible pairs in the page set at the site. "Across" neatly avoids the issue of whether consistency is a pair or set property by allowing for both interpretations, whichever the reader is prone to assume. This choice also avoids getting entangled in the number connotations of "between" or "among."
