Hi Tedd,
That were some good ideas about the problems that I thought will arise.
What you forgeting is that you can't just decide what is more important and what is not. I mean it might be that logically the short article (e.g. America) should be linked and not the long one. If the articles are many and have organic (sorry I can't think of a better word) titles then it will produce weird results.
I still think that automatically cross linking articles that might have small titles is a bad idea. Imagine imdb doing that and trying to crosslink the movie "Z" and the movie "IT" inside it's editors articles and reviews.
I think that the best living example of this is the ad networks that link words to advertisements inside web site content. They can make a text almost unreadable when they insert the ad links.

Petros:
Your points are well taken.
This remands me of story where there was a religious group who
filtered all incoming news and made the news "appropriate"
for their readers. There was an article about a sports figure who's
last name was "Gay". I sure you guessed it, the filtered
article renamed the athlete "Homosexual" and the battle was
on. So, I understand the problem.
However with that said, I claim that if someone can accurately
describe a programming problem, I can create a solution for it.
Identifying the problem is usually the hard part.
As to deciding what's important and what's not, there are all
sorts of ways to do that -- and that's the stuff I like (i.e., AI).
:-)
Cheers,
tedd
