We can't prevent processors from doing this, but if they do it's not XML linking. We are in the business of defining a way to recognize links, not a blanket endorsement for other ways of marking links. We should not talk about this at all, even to forbid such recognition, even though it is a bad idea. -- David _________________________________________ David Durand dgd@cs.bu.edu \ david@dynamicDiagrams.com Boston University Computer Science \ Sr. Analyst http://www.cs.bu.edu/students/grads/dgd/ \ Dynamic Diagrams --------------------------------------------\ http://dynamicDiagrams.com/ MAPA: mapping for the WWW \__________________________
