Variables vs Cross-references vs Text Insets [WAS: Hiding Pages?]

[eric.dunn at ca.transport.bombardier.com]

The text content of a cross-reference is limited by what you can build 
using the Xref building blocks. It may be possible to have a Xref that 
produces multiple paragraphs (Using \R in the def?) but I doubt it would 
be workable.

But to combine multiple paragraphs, you need to have information that's 
consistently tagged and organised. Then, it's only really workable to 
create strings as I have done.

For multiple paras, I'd stick to insets.
