Bleh! No, thank you. No, no, no!
If identifying links in a vocabulary-neutral way is a requirement,
let's just fix XLink so that it can do that. Just about the very last
thing I want is to have to consult some quasi-structured text document
to find the links in my document.
Surely that way lies madness...
