So can you describe more formally what you class as a hypertext reference as opposed to a URI that is not a hypertext reference? I guess that I've been assuming that any URI that points to a resource that should be retrieved/accessed/navigated to (as opposed to one that is being used as an identifier or as a base URI for example) represents a hyperlink. But ruling out things like classids and usemap attributes and so on would certainly make life a lot simpler for XHTML and other languages, and support the decision not to use XLink in, for example, XForms to point to instance/submission URIs.
