I like it. For me, the aesthetic aspect is much the bigger benefit, 
actually, as articles that have sufficiently diverse relationships to 
warrant cross-project links often have a good deal of other template 
clutter. I much prefer, if we're going to decorate these articles (and 
we should), that we focus on real visual, interactive, or other 
multimedia supplements, and not poor substitutes for these.
