Yes, now it makes sense to me too, assuming I*m not wrong. A href and src are

reference(that is its purpose), while it for the latter only is a mechanism
for achieving something else.

Yes, according to that system. For curiosity: I had a feel of XInclude being
spot on, probably because href is more common than src(well, that's a
subjective matter).
