Use XLinks when you want/expect to fetch representations or think your essentially dealing in documents. RDF doesn't have anything to say about dereferencing, or documents; its constants all the way down. You can always map between the two later, as things change. On the other hand you have to wonder why we have both XLink and RDF. Bill de hÓra .. Propylon www.propylon.com
