Given the point 1 which allows you to turn anything into link, why you 
then need to declare it as link on XML level (point 2). I mean if you 
have some generic XML, e.g.:

<hotel moreinfo="http://example.org/dream-hotel";>
   ...

and you are able to say that this element should work as link on a 
stylesheet level, e.g.:

hotel { link-type: simple;
         link-target: attr(moreinfo);
       }

what is then point of point 2?
