Introducing XLink Attributes To Existing Elements from Warren Searle on 1999-09-02 (www-xml-linking-comments@w3.org from July to September 1999)

I was hoping that someone might be able to advise me on the following:
Can I "redefine" DTD element declarations to now have XLink attributes
without the need to change my markup documents.
...
At the moment my markup element attribute names are "user-friendly" and
of IDREF type. Can the elements be changed into XLink elements without
the need for the user to type in values for: xlink:href;  xmlns:xlink
etc.???
I haven't been able to find any documentation regarding this.

Thank you

Warren
