How would either of you deal with the following situation: I have Rob Beezer's linear algebra book in Sage Worksheets, with hundreds of cross-references between the worksheets. I want to upload two copies of the book into my notebook server. Where do the crossreferences point? Do I get an error and have to manually reassign all possible labels on the second version of the book? I can see Robert's idea working better, in that it sees that there are conflicts, so it regenerates "unique" ids for all worksheets in the second copy of the book upon import, automatically changing any reference in those worksheets to use the new ids.
