Um, excuse me for apparently missing something, but isn't the obvious
answer to all these concerns the combination of XLink and XHTML2? For
that matter, isn't the xhtml2:href attribute redundant with xlink:href?

Don't reinvent the wheel, guys. If XHTML2 didn't come with a Hypertext
module, I imagine UAs would be much quicker to implement XLink.
