Can XML Schemas solve this one? We need code to show it can. Given that 1. there was an expectation by SMIL and HTML groups that the XLINK technology would allow them to use their HREF and SRC attributes with XLINK blessing, and that 2. the passage of XLINK to CR was accompanied by the understanding/hope that this could be accomplished by metainformation in the schemas for SMIL and HTML, and that 3. the note http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2000/09/NOTE-xlink-naming.html seems to give a way of doing this by providing simple types, but that 4. to really allow SRC= and HREF= to be used without extra attributes is is infcat necessary to make some subtypes for each (or 20) combination of implicit SHOW and ACTIVATION value. There is going to be, I think, a new version of the note with those subtypes. What we need - as all these specs are in implementation review phase (Candidate Rec) - is *code* to take - a SMIL, SVG, or xHTML document - the assciated schema with annotations referring to XLINK and produce from these document decorated with some form of annotation showing where there are links -- or maybe just a documenyt with the SRC and HREF attributes replcaes with appropriate XLINK ones. It is clearly important that this will be driven from the schema - not hard coded in! Without this code, it is difficult to say that the problem has been realistically solved. Any takers?
