Re: [docbook-apps] Cross references and label numbers?

Yes, olink is the solution to the problem of validating modular files that
have cross references to other modules.  It is a bit more complicated to set
up, but it will work for your application.  You will be able to validate
each chapter file, and when you process it you will get links that work and
have section numbers.

The link element doesn't use xrefstyle at all.  The xrefstyle attribute
provides hints for assembling generated text, and the link element doesn't
generate any text.
