(In)Validate My Assumptions on Linking.
Okay,

	After much thinking, reading, and reviewing, I've come to these three ideas:

	1) Stylesheet languages need some sort of way to display links from 
generic XML. This is so we can interact with them in user agents. By 
"stylesheet languages," I am specifically referring to XSL-FO and CSS.

	2) Links need to be declared in generic XML, so no forced syntax 
like XLink 1.0. This is so that all the various dialects people have 
used to describe linking can get along without breaking (backwards 
and forwards compatibility).

	3) XLink is -conceptually- on the right side of the 80/20. Forget 
the syntax, and focus on the actual ideas -- do they cover what needs 
to be covered? Especially if it were possible to easily extend them 
in the future.

	Please shred my assumptions. Critical feedback would be helpful.

	Thank you!
