Personally, I use cross referencing fairly regularly. As a result one tends to add in labels anytime something may need to be cross referenced , hence it appears to be less of a problem. The bigger issue is whether having something like a table of contents against which you cross reference is going to be more work or less work. Not clear if I understand the problem with referencing figures. As long as you use a float it should be alright or am I missing out because of not reading the prior material on this.
