OK, but let's think about user interface. When I click on the cv:doctor element I'd like to have a menu pop up saying "Doctorate/Specialty/Homepage". Where do I put that kind of per-link labeling metadata? Then generalize this question for *any* kind of information that you might want to provide per-link-end. Also think about internationalization. These were the considerations that drove XLink to use subelements for link ends. -Tim
