No, CSS 2.0 states "The document language determines which elements are hyperlink source anchors." The document language in the case above is XML 1.0 + XLink 1.1 and XLink 1.1 defines "A /hyperlink/ is a link that is intended primarily for presentation to a human user." but it does not define how user agents determine whether an XLink 1.1 "link", as defined in the document, is a "hyperlink". And that's already assuming "hyper- link" and "hyperlink source anchor" refer to the same concept. What's clear though is that CSS' use of "link" and XLink 1.1's definition of "link" refer to different concepts. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
