Ugh, I see what you mean. I have read doc/src/sgml/README.links many
times and still get confused. What you are saying is that if there is
no xreflabel on a target, you can get the chapter/section via <xref> or
specify text via <link>. But, if there is an xreflabel on the target,
you can't get the chapter/section anymore --- you can only get the
xreflabel via <xref>, or specify text via <link>, right?

I added 13 xreflabels in commits 85af628da5 and 75fcdd2ae2. What I am
thinking of doing is to look at all references to the id's associated
with those xreflabels and remove the xreflabel if the chapter/section
is required, and if not, convert <link> to <xref> where the link text
matches the xreflabel. Does that sound like a good plan?
