In particular since you use that in step 2 :) No. I chose the phrase "Xlink href" to mean "the href attribute in the XLink namespace" specifically because some people seem to think that the entire string "xlink:href" is magical. It isn't, it can be wibble:href and work just fine if correctly declared. Conversely, xlink:href can not work if you assign that prefix to some other URI. The name of the attribute is, after all, href, right? So, its making a point. if that point is not clear then it should be reworded, but not omitted. -- Chris mailto:chris@w3.org
