This is a style convention quite common in places like Wikipedia. So users already expect it even if they aren't aware of it.
This may be a "convention", but it is definitely an opinion. I want a term to be linked to the appropriate topic/article *every* time that term appears. If I want to see the linked topic/article for a term, I don't want to have to hunt for the first instance of the term - any instance should be equivalently linked.

It would definitely be nice if we had control over the appearance of the text, though - CSS would be ideal, now that everything is in HTML.
