Our processes are unlikely to pick up the most obvious difference (as I 
judge from an example), namely that where we would wikilink a technical 
word, the NCI would give a phrase of definition in parentheses beside 
it. We think people who need to know what the [[colon]] is will click 
and find out, they don't use indirection in that way.
