Initial impression:  This looks OK.  It finally reinvents
architectural forms in a way that's usable in XML.

(XLink started to do this, but the omission of any kind
of attribute renaming facility and the lack of a reliable
attribute value defaulting scheme made XLink inflexible
and difficult to use, as Steve Pemberton's message convincingly
described.  The 'hlink' declaration scheme solves both those 
problems.)
