One reason could be for linking to other web sites with specific
information about where you are in the wizard. The current :link stuff in
custom isn't really sufficient. Links should be in the flow of the main
text, not at the end in a see-also section.
Unfortunately with w3 effectively orphaned until I find some time to get
the savannah pages set up and recruit some people to replace me, I think
using an XML file for the description of the steps in the wizard and an
elisp interface to draw text & links & widgets from that is the best way to
go.
