They describe connections between many manifold learning algorithms and explain out-of-sample extension of the learned embeddings. At the end they also suggest to look into multiple iterations of such feature transformations, although I'm still having trouble finding a reference that actually does it.
I've only skimmed this so far Learning Eigenfunctions Links Spectral Embedding and Kernel PCA (Bengio et al., 2004) but it looks really useful.
