| Goodness, what a thread.

I've already responded as to why I think Steve's example is not a very
good one, but...

| * Don't tell other people what to do in their name spaces

How does XLink tell anyone what to do in their namespace? XLink says
how to use the XLink namespace to leverage a set of linking semantics.

| * Don't put metadata in identifiers

Where is that proposed?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
