Early versions of XLink permitted precisely that kind of mapping:
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xml-link-970731#sec2.2

I'm glad they added arcs, sad they dropped the mapping.  Namespaces
"took care of that problem".

You might also want to look into Architectural Forms.  David Megginson's
_Structuring XML Documents_ has an excellent explanation.  Not the
prettiest stuff at times, but very interesting.
