As for your main point about nested links. I fear that the only thing that the spec could say is that you should not nest links, although the schema does not enforce it. That would match the behaviour for html (and xlink simple links) xhtml extended links would support more exotic link times but they are largely unimplemented. In a browser context especially it would be difficult to specify linking behaviour too different from the html linking behaviour and HTML (certainly html4 I failed to find an exact reference in html5) any nested link elements are formally a syntax error. Ie I think we could perhaps change However, links on elements that do not correspond to any part of a visual rendering should be avoided to However, links on elements that do not correspond to any part of a visual rendering, and nested links, should be avoided this doesn't leave things completely specified or help with your actual use case, but may the best way for the specification to mention the problem leaving the door open for some implementations to offer you support, but without mandating that.
