<foo xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="whatever">
is not exactly much more awkward than the Opera solution (does need one
extra attr and declaring the xlink namespace on your root node). And as
Ian has pointed out, Mozilla has supported that for years.
The real question is whether linking behavior should be part of the
structure or the presentation, of course...
