Given that nobody other than myself seems to be interested in indirect links, and that for direct links the only form that is getting any support is that of an opaque string, I ask myself whether the XML community has any interest in having multiheaded links? If so: What form would a multiheaded link take? A concatenated set of opaque strings embedded at the reference point in the text? If I want to point to a number of points in the same document do I have to repeat the full location information for each one? If I want to reference the same set of points at another point in the document do I have to repeat all the information for each link at that point as well? If there is some mechanism for using a short form of addressing how will this work when my multiheaded link needs to point to 6 places in this document and 6 places in that document? How can I say I want this bit of the text linked to the same points that that bit of text in this document and that bit of text in that document point to? ---- Martin Bryan, The SGML Centre, Churchdown, Glos.
