A page with a lot of links is probably central to the website, maybe a hub page or content central to it. It also passes semantic context, e.g. the anchor describes the linked page, and the link indicates the two pages are related, content-wise. | |

Voted up, however - a better solution for duplicate content in a different file format is to use meta rel=alternate tags.

It isn't bad. It is just... in this case more is better:)
