Roy, Why did you change from descriptive links to descriptive metadata? My poor brain starts to hurt when a link is either a link or metadata. Why not keep as hypertext links and descriptive links? While you answered a number of my earlier questions in various emails to other people, you didn't answer the question about whether web service references, such as <callback location="mycallbackserviceuri"/> is a hypertext link or a different kind of link.
