Except for HTML doesn't have multi-ended or metadata-loaded or 
out-of-band links.  I'm suggesting that it would be a good idea to add 
them, and proposing XLink as a way to do it.  I think reasonable 
disagreements are of the form "no, that's not a valuable thing to add" 
or "yes, but here's a better way to do it."
