Consider that there are multiple hub-capable languages on the internet. More are being added. Most support URLs. That is granted. However, things can be more complicated than HTML (a specific application). VRML (another specific application) allows for links with multiple URLs. These are used to declare precedence to the VRML browser for a set of targets. XML is not an application: it as is SGML is a metalanguage. So, while we can always use or recommend application conventions, we still are left with either 1. Define a way to define links (meta) 2. Define the links (application). Decide what the requirements are. len
