I hope that that's the case, although I don't know if it will turn out
that way. It may be a case of Calais confusing Linked Data with
linkable data. It is certainly my expectation (and that of the entire
LD community, I would argue) that "Linked Data" does actually include
those links, in case anyone was in any doubt ;)

Tom.
