Links can be checked with scripts, so deep linking, i.e. linking direct 
to the relevant section, is actually better than saying "look in that 
guide over there" as when someone moves or renames a section or chapter 
the scripts can tell you.

   How about this.  Firewalls (firewalld and iptables and ip6tables) are 
a pretty interesting topic that could be used as a test case.  Why don't 
we pull what's in the Security Guide (and other guides) into a smaller 
guide (an article?) that specifically talks about firewalls in Linux. 
We can pull in existing translations and kick the thing out the door. 
If this is received well we can start doing that for other topics as 
well.  If it's not received well we can just pull the XML files back 
into the security guide (or wherever) and we're not out anything.
