Right.

Sure.

Thanks.

I think the intent was to allow "lazy authoring" of the xlink:href
attribute but not for the other attributes. The rationale, I presume,
was that authors sophisticated enough to be using role and arcrole,
could be relied upon to enter them correctly.

Editorial oversight :-)

Odd. That's just a straight copy from XLink 1.0. I'll fix it.

Ok.

Hmm. That's true of 1.0 too.

Thanks. You're not the first commenter to ask for more examples and we
will provide some.

Hmm. I thought that was addressed in the XML Schema definition of xs:anyURI.

                                        Be seeing you,
