It seems like structure to me. Perhaps I bent the stick a little too far in the interests of getting the argument across. I do think things are a little more complicated than "It's either structure and belongs in the DTD, or it's processing and belongs in the stylesheet." Are we talking about structure-related processing information or processing-related structural information? Does it matter? The important thing is to make sure that we have an association mechanism that is flexible and extensible. Maybe your way of looking at it is more appropriate. The architectural forms do not specify *processing*, but they do relate the structure to an architecture defined by a *processor*, and in that case, LINK (as you point out) is necessary for this to work well.
