Other OGL Link Opportunities?

With the vast plethora of books on the market today, do publishers think that there is any way to apply a little synergy to enhance the value? For instance, I just read over and am using Monsters of the Boundless Blue and Elemental Lore. That got me to thinking that there could be a Monsters of the Infinite Planes and a Outsider Lore book that could feed off each other perhaps in the monster descriptions.

While I haven't got MEG's the Deep yet, I can't imagine there being any issue with using MotBB with it or Freeport or Swashbuckling Adventurers.

I like the idea of the OGL Interlink that Green Ronin and Paradigm started and think that there is a lot of potential for products that are stronger when used together than the two have done thus far. While most of the books in the series have been great, they don't really rely on each other. You certainly don't get references to Eldest Sons in Wrath & Rage for example, or need the Mind Flayer book to use the Drow book. Some more actual links outside of the idea might make stronger bonds.

Then again, it could scare people off as they think they now need two books instead of just the one.

On another note, one of the things I was thinking when reading Path of the Magiis that the Universitae de Magus might have a rivalry with the Redhurst Academy. Perhaps that's one of the teams that have their own little Spellflag champions? Little things here and there...
