Re: XLink 1.1: Open issues?

| Dear XML Core Working Group,

|   http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xlink11-20050707/ has been published as
| Last Call Working Draft but I could not find responses that formally

With respect to the issues raised in this message,

On the question of what applications are expected to do with nested links,
we have no advice beyond what is currently in the specification. It is
up to the application to decide how to deal with the link relationships
exposed by the markup.

On the question of CSS, we believe that question is (or will be) addressed
by our response to
http://www.w3.org/mid/430f85af.62527875@smtp.bjoern.hoehrmann.de

On the question of what to do about mixed vocabulary linking
(xlink:href and href), we belive that question is (or will be) addressed
by our response to
http://www.w3.org/mid/430d85ab.62524234@smtp.bjoern.hoehrmann.de

The attributes in question are not required and different applications
might reasonably choose to implement different defaults (or allow
users to specify the defaults). What's more, the question is outside
the scope of our charter.

| Where can I find responses that formally address these comments?

Please let us know if this response addresses your concerns.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
