James, 

It would be interesting to see an excerpt from this encyclopedia,
to show the format of what they are using for cross references.

I can't imagine anyone putting byte offsets into the file as cross
references; perhaps they are (page no, line no) offsets, but that
would be problematic for electronic text.  Better would be some sort
of unambigous reference to where the reference is (however you would
say "paragraph 3 of the 'Publishing' reference in the Macropedia").
