         When I say you need to be able to declare it in generic XML, 
I mean to say that all three of the following may be the same link, 
depending on the CSS:

<a href="http://www.example.com>An Example</a>

<link>An Example</link>

<anchor xlink:href="http://www.example.com" xlink:show="onRequest" 
xlink:actuate="replace">An Example</anchor>

         In other words, the type of XML used shouldn't require any 
specific elements or attributes -- which XLink currently forces.
