https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17659

           Summary: XML lacks native hypermedia affordances, which makes
                    attainment of it's #1 goal impossible
           Product: Web Platform (other)
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Unwelcome

Created attachment 1151

Contains seven hypermedia "atoms" which can be recombined, six of which are
tried and true, the seventh which will hopefully become so

1 XLink does not provide hypermedia controls which address the use case of the
web, and needs to be replaced.

2 Hypermedia controls should be in the XML namespace, so that all child
specifications which need them can use them without declaration ie the
semantics are "well known".

This issue has been raised in SVG, to the XML editors via email, on xml-dev in
2010 and most recently on xml-dev again in the context of a new community
initiative, MicroXML.

Please fix the issue by adding hypermedia affordances as specified in the
attached XML Schema to the xml: namespace [1]
