Lookup column looks good and works fine. It's worth mentioning that in most cases data model provision (columns, content types, lists) is done within visual studio solutions. It could be xml provision or provision using API, depends on developer. How could I provision cross site lookup fields, let's say with xml provision? Could you provide a consistent example of your lookup field provision?
