XLink does not rule out multiple linking semantics in the same
*element*. It rules out multiple linking semantics in the same *tag*.
The distinction is very important.
What I am hearing people say they need is multiple linking semantics
in the same *element*. I am also hearing them object because they
can't have multiple linking semantics in the same *tag*. I am still
waiting for a convincing use-case that requires multiple linking
semantics in the same *tag*.
