Yeah.  This is the best suggestion I've seen yet for allowing the HTML 
WG to alleviate their angst and auto-magically make their existing link 
vocabulary recognizable (in some sense) as an XLink.  If, however, they 
wanted to insert a general-purpose multi-ended link facility of the sort 
that XLink's complex link was designed for, it would seem best if they 
put it in the XLink namespace and use ordinary xlink:href syntax for the 
purpose.  --Tim
