Geoff, - there's plainly no consensus in the XML developer community about that, - what's the *benefit* of marking up a URI as element instead of an attribute, and if there is one, why do you think that XLink ignore this fact, - your proposal doesn't include a standard way for definining the type of a link (an XLink feature that my proposal simple inherits).
