Well, you demonstrate several extended links which are not equivalent, but 
there is an equivalent link.

<section id="sec1"
               xlink:type="extended">
   <loc xlink:type="locator" xlink:role="http://www.example.com/xlns/from"
           xlink:href="#sec1"/>
   <loc xlink:type="locator" xlink:role="http://www.example.com/xlns/to"
           xlink:href="http://www.someplace.org/something.html"/>
   <arc xlink:type="arc" xlink:from="http://www.example.com/xlns/from"
           xlink:to="http://www.example.com/xlns/to" />
   <title>Que se yo?</title>
   <par>
       No hay nada de interes en este parafo.
   </par>
   <list>
      <item>Nada</item>
      <item>Aun menos</item>
   </list>
   <!-- Lots more 'par', 'list', 'table', 'figure' elements etc. -->
   <par>
       Esto es aburrido. Y ademas, faltan los acentos.
   </par>
</section>

This does not have local resources, and includes two loc elements and one 
arc element within the beginning resource that weren't there in the other 
example, but is otherwise equivalent.
