Very succinctly put. I think that both of these points of view are valid for users with different requirements, in just the same way as CSS and XSL-FO meet different requirements. XLink meets the requirements of the second group of users. What's wrong with *also* having something that meets the requirements of the first? Why does this have to be an either/or thing?
