Given the long and rather tortured history of the XLink spec, it might
be nice to see a single such coherent email explaining the perspective
of the XLink WG as well.

"XLink is a W3C Recommendation and therefore you must abide by it"
doesn't seem like a particularly reasonable thing to say to people whose
comments on XLink appear to have been rejected out of hand with little
explanation.

Given my prior experiences with this WG, I'm prone to take all of its
comments with a ton of salt, but a coherent explanation of the why
behind the spec might help wash some of that salt away.
