No, this generality doesn't offer very much, as authors can use any markup they want, and any interpretation they want is fine -- XML linking should concentrate on providing a base set of capabilities, and not explicitly address extensibility. This is not to say that we might not have some hooks to allow the standard to be extended, just that user-extension of XML linking is not allowed -- at least if you do that you are not doing XML linking, but something else. -- David _________________________________________ David Durand dgd@cs.bu.edu \ david@dynamicDiagrams.com Boston University Computer Science \ Sr. Analyst http://www.cs.bu.edu/students/grads/dgd/ \ Dynamic Diagrams --------------------------------------------\ http://dynamicDiagrams.com/ MAPA: mapping for the WWW \__________________________
