I know that FF is based on Mozilla, but I read that they want to
concentrate on FF.
I just checked their web site and it seems that there is going to be
a Mozilla 1.9.

I tried with an XML file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<invoice>
<XLinkTestl xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="new" xlink:actuate="onRequest"
xlink:title="My First XLINK" xlink:href="http://www.google.com">
XLINK test B
</XLinkTestl>
</invoice>
And with an HTML file:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>XLINK test</title>
</head>
<body>
<XLinkTestl xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="new" xlink:actuate="onRequest"
xlink:title="My First XLINK" xlink:href="http://www.google.com">
XLINK test B
</XLinkTestl>
</body>
</html>
Both fail under FF. Amaya recognizes the simple links from the XML
file but it does not recognize the same links from the HTML file.

Yes, by any site I know. You are quite an arrogant person, aren't you ?
Provide examples of sites using XLINKS.

Yes, that could be a problem in any conversation.
