I've been wondering about this. Granted the XLink spec still hasn't calmed
down, but this kind of problem seems (to me) to be a good fit for an
extended link group solution. And (not that you suggested this) it doesn't
seem to be something that requires the mandate of a WG, but rather can be a
de-facto informal solution a la SAX(2). Would that work, you think?
