I have a bit of trouble understanding why XLink hasn't cought on. As W3C
recommendations go, it is one of the more useful. XLinks are no more
difficult to implement than the other linking solutions that litter W3C
recommendations, and XLinks have the benefit of offering standardized
and link processing and the promise of reusable link processing
software.
