OK, but let's think about user interface.  When I click on the cv:doctor 
element I'd like to have a menu pop up saying 
"Doctorate/Specialty/Homepage".   Where do I put that kind of per-link 
labeling metadata?  Then generalize this question for *any* kind of 
information that you might want to provide per-link-end.  Also think 
about internationalization.  These were the considerations that drove 
XLink to use subelements for link ends.  -Tim
