Quoting from Len Bullard (reference below):

  The fact is as said elsewhere, XML Is Not A Hypermedia Language.
  It is barely a language at all.

See lengthy thread on xml-dev [1] explaining in detail why this is a level
error.  Linking is an application-level bit of semantics, not a notational
mechanism.
