I agree - and I try to make my pages accessible. But it only really relates to text and images - there is no metaphor for chemistry > In terms of semantics, what do you think XLink is lacking > from your experience with CML? I haven't looked for 2-3 years - but basically there was no added value from the community - such as toolboxes, validity checkers, tools to check whether the hyperdocument was bounded, etc. So the implication is the implementers has to do all the work themselves. Similarly if I am in a company of one - or two ( I don't know XBRL) - I don't get any synergy. If I write XSLT there are zillions of tutorials, examples, tools, etc. Everyone knows what I am taking about. If I write XLink I point to a spec whose vitality is being questioned here. Not all XML specs are good things to point non-experts to. I'm also not even sure that XLink actually does what I want. So if I were still moderating this list maybe I'd try to ginger us up to revisit XLink. But...
