Obviously people feel XLink has too much syntax, and I'm pretty well convinced that they're right. How about the following: Make xlink:type inferrable from xlink:href as follows: If an element has xlink:href=, then - If its parent element has xlink:type="extended", infer xlink:type="locator" - Otherwise infer xlink:type="simple" Hey-presto, minimal simple xlinks are now <foo xlink:href="bar">foo</foo> - no defaulting required! Of course you could still put in xlink:title and other good stuff if you wanted. Minimal extended xlinks become <parent xlink:type="extended"> <child xlink:href="audio.wav"/> <child xlink:href="text.html"/> <child xlink:href="vidio.mov"/> </parent> -TimReceived on Friday, 4 October 2002 11:46:09 GMT
