If there is to be a single mechanism, I strongly feel that it should be an indirect one; whether attributes, PIs, or arch forms, I'm not sure. My reason is that XML is supposed to be a *semantic* markup language. Both explanatory footnotes and bibliographic references could be the same species of hyperlink, but I want to mark them up differently, since they *are* different things. However, if an implementor is implementing this, would it really be hard for them to treat a GI that is identical to one of the known attribute values as equivalent to specifying that attribute value? -Chris -- Christopher R.
