| So far we haven't dragged the processor into the XML-LINK spec.

Let me press harder. Are XML-link semantics expressed to the
processor or to the application, or to both, or is it up to
designers of apps and processors to decide? If it's not clear which,
are you relying on the market to develop a common solution or are
you punting?
