I agree. There's enough jargon in the world already. HTML has no
special term for the way tht linking works with it, and SGML itself
has no particualar term (in 8879) to distinguish ID/IDREF links from
some other kind of linkage.

I agree. XML is perfectly fine, and the cover sheet could just as
well read
