xml:href, xml:rel, xml:type

Hi,

Has it been considered to include standardized typed links into the core xml specification,
in a manner that is similar to xml:base and xml:lang?

If these attributes were available, xml could be a hypertext language without
schema designers having to reinvent the markup for this concept, which hinders interoperability.

I would suggest the following *implicitly associated* attributes in the xml namespace:

href - a single URI value
rel - one or more space-separated tokens or URIs, which identify the relationships the targeted resource has to the current context
type - a single MIME media type

Cheers,
