Ahh, but this doesn't give you the benefits of two-way links that we would normally expect. In fact, it makes it even harder to find backlinks -- and forwardlinks for that matter, since the document that describes the link doesn't have to be one of the parties that is linking! -- [ Aaron Swartz | me@aaronsw.com | http://www.aaronsw.com ]
