Please change > the draft such that this is well-defined. The CSS spec is the one defining what part of the document it applies to. It seems to me http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#link-pseudo-classes simply uses "link" without specifying the kind of links on purpose to be as generic as possible and hence applies to XLink based links. I suggest any issue about the definition of links matched by CSS selector ":link" (and :visited) be brought back to the CSS working group. In general is sounds unwise to try to add to XLink behaviour expectations about all the upper layers which may interract with XLink defined linking constructs. The level of recognition an processing applied by other layers can't be put within XLink, it would make XLink conflict with the specification of those application layers or the evolution of them over time.
