Hi Jeremy,
Your points are valid, but I generally do this on a copy of the book before
it is processed by WWP. The markers and modified cross-references are in the
"throw-away documents" for the conversion process, not in the documents that
are maintained going forward.

Interesting, but I see a practical problem. You'd need to set the
xref markers for every element in the doc, to be sure of covering
all the potential xref targets. It's not enough to cover only those
that are referenced within the doc, because then xrefs from other
docs, in the same book or in other books, would still break. Risky.
Likewise, the change couldn't really be temporary, as you'd never
know when a new xref might be made from another doc. And for the
same reason, the process would have to run every time you added a
new element, or copied one (resulting in a new ID).
That would add a great many xref markers, which in turn would make
working with the rest of the markers more challenging. You'd have
to use Find almost all the time...
I agree that this is not an ideal situation, but it may be more reasonable
than changing your workflow.
Not so sure about that. Switching between WWP (or ePub) and
Mif2Go doesn't really change workflow. There's some initial
setup, but thereafter it's essentially the same. And Mif2Go's
included automation tool, runfm, can simplify it further; the
corresponding WWP tool, AutoMap, costs $20K, IIRC... ;-)
