That message and argument appears to be based on severe
misunderstandings of xlink:show="embed", as others have pointed out
previously. Everything Pemberton claims can't be done, can in fact be
done in XLink and in a very simple way. Furthermore, both of his use
cases really indicate the semantics of xlink:show="other", not
xlink:show="embed".
Specifically, I reject the following claim:
Well, we can't make the security preferences a child of <script>
<script ...>
<security ...>
...
</script>
because that would clash with the intended semantics of 'embed' on
the URI on the <script> element.
In fact, you can make security a child of the script element, with
exactly the semantics you need it to have.
