[Eliot Kimber] Note that the architecture mechanisms defined in the HyTime TC include defaulting rules that causes elements whose element types are the same as architectural forms to be assumed to be those forms (lacking more specific information). Thus, an XML Link spec that defines a set of architectural element types will be usable *without* explicit mappings if authors simply use the same element type names in their documents. Thus, if XML accepted the default architectural mapping behavior, you would need the mapping attributes only when your element type names differed from those in the architecture. [] Okay, I see what you are saying. However, wouldn't differing element type names from those in the XML-Link architecture be the norm rather than the exception when existing tomes of SGML are being XML'ified for WEB delivery? Is requiring an XML Browser to retrieve+process the DTD in order to map element type name "FigRef" to "alink" a bit onerous?
