See also the XML Accessibility Guidelines WD, section 2.3
<URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlgl#cp2_3 >:
2.3 Use the standard XML linking and pointing mechanisms
(XLink and XPointer).
XLink and XPointer have been reviewed for accessibility and
provide known linking and pointing mechanisms.
Techniques for 2.3
Example. *Wrong*
User Agents have no way of knowing this is a link.
<mylink linkend="http://mysite/myfile.xml">
Current list of references
</mylink>
Example: *Right*
Links can be recognized reliably by XLink applications.
<crossref xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xlink:href="http://mysite/myfile.xml">
Current list of references
</crossref>
