I think this is extremely useful. At the zeroth level it allows
people to navigate through to their case(s) and find whether there
are already solutions.
For my part I am interested in adding some form of "typing" and
validation to the links - do the links actually point to the sort of
"object" they say they do, and also to consistency of links.
If this can be pursued by the list I think it will have considerable
general benefit.
