What's wrong with simply relying on XLink to tell us ...or semantics of the used document language... >what is a link? Well, authors would be able to add extended hyperlinking capabilities to documents the document language didn't consider. Take the longdesc attribute as example, HTML 4 defines it to carry an URI but not if and how users may access the resource behind it, nor how it should be presented to the user. I think another design goal is to allow user agents, that don't know the used document language and/or don't know XLink are able to present the document anyway in a appropriate manner. -- Björn Höhrmann { mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de } http://www.bjoernsworld.de am Badedeich 7 } Telefon: +49(0)4667/981028 { http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de 25899 Dagebüll { PGP Pub.
