Ed -- I've extirpated excess reference pages a few times, with good success 
until and unless someone imported reference pages from another document or 
used FrameMaker's Save As HTML feature -- whereupon they seemed to 
spontaneously regenerate. Haven't tried this in Release 6, so you may get 
more current advice from another Free Framer!

As for the labels for named, graphic frames on the Reference page, would 
you consider changing the font but not deleting the labels?  They're mighty 
handy if and when you as template keeper look back after several months, 
planning to make small adjustments of some sort....

As long as no one imports formats from another source, or saves as HTML, 
the steps you outlined have worked for me in the past.
