The "title" would be something human readable about the referenced topic. "arcrole" may not be useful. "actuate" is an abomination. > ... So you could say that > these applications do not really use xlink at all except in name. Using it "in name" is actually just fine. If a link-checking or link-maintaining application can recognize XLinks in XTMs then something useful has been accomplished. -- "When I walk on the floor for the final execution, I'll wear a denim suit. I'll walk in there like Willie Nelson, John Wayne, Will Smith -- Men in Black -- James Brown. Maybe do a Michael Jackson moonwalk." Congressman James Traficant.
