XLink is too flexible (and as a consequence too verbose) to be
successful in a culture that emerged from a/@href. Wouldn't something
along the lines of xlink:href + xlink:src + xlink:ref (and perhaps a
xlink:multi to flag multi links) be sufficient for the needs of most,
far simpler to use than the current XLink (for simple links), and more
likely of success? It does nothing to address all the complex linking
needs, but those would be easier to build later once at least the simple
parts of the spec are successful :)
