Or, alternatively, whether XLink is just one of many linking
possibilities, much as W3C XML Schema is just one of many schema
possibilities.  Whether or not WXS is fatally flawed matters less when
it's only one choice among many rather than a burden forced on people.

W3C XML Linking, anyone?  (Never mind that RDF and HTML are also W3C
projects!)
