It would be great to define
<anything xlink:href="..." />
as a simple XLink ...

This is essentially RDF -- except that the RDF syntax defines attribute
values as string literals, so:
<cv:doctor>
<cv:doctorate rdf:resource="http://.../university"/>
<cv:specialty rdf:resource="http://.../"/>
<cv:homepage rdf:resource="http://.../"/>
</cv:doctor>
