I have implemented systems using XLink in telecommunications, automotive
and defense industries. From time to time, I encounter XLink
implementations made by others, for example in topic maps and recently
in an AECMA DTD variant.
XLink hasn't exactly taken off like a rocket, but it is used quite a bit
more than it may first appear.
As for anything exciting happening, well, nothing earth shattering as
far as I know, but there are interesting things going on deep inside
various corporations. The problem is that most of these solutions remain
inhouse, so they don't get much publicity.

Try the Cover Pages at http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xll.html. Even
though most of the links are old, the information at the other end may
be updated more recently.
