I can see a problem with your approach if you import formats from one file to many files. You can easily overwrite the revision information. Say you make a reference page called "REVS" for all your book chapters and begin populating the revisions. At some point in time, somebody imports the formats (including reference pages) from chapter 3 to all the other files in the book. All the reference pages named "REVS" will be overwritten with the chapter 3 revision information. A way ensure against overwriting would be to give a unique name to each file's revision page (REVSch1, REVSch2, etc.); however, you may end up with multiple, unused, outdated reference pages in each file. They won't cause any harm (except maybe causing confusion when updating the rev info), but may bloat your file size.
