This is about making multi-sheet designs more readable.  When you chase 
a signal off page, you know what other pages to go look on.

It's not a huge deal for 5 sheet designs.  In past lives, I've worked on 
designs with many thousands of sheets of schematics -- then it's a big 
deal.  I just like having neatly cross-referenced schematics.
