The Computer Science Part The Social Behavior Part
Everything else is application semantics. It is
the application semantics that don't mesh although one
can make that happen by the same acts that influence
norms of social behavior just as the link design is
imposed top down.
There is no reason XLink won't work. It is a matter
of persuasion. So far, no persuasion has been effective.
As I said earlier, that is because there are easier ways
that only depend on different scales of local control.

If you think linking is a simple enough field to be modeled this way,
I'm afraid I have to suggest that you haven't taken linking nearly
seriously enough. Even in the simplest cases, though, I have a really
hard time finding benefits to XLink that aren't outweighed by the costs
of using it.
Junk it.
