If something emerges which can replace what I have done in CML I will be happy and junk the <map> and <link> elements I have developed. In my case they are purely semantic (i.e. it is unlikely they will ever be renderable directly). I may be old-fashioned but I would prefer an XML spec for links to RDF. That is not to say I don't use RDF but it is rather too flexible for me. I would like a link which can be strongly typed. For those who don't remember what we did with SAX it's worth revisiting the archives. Essentially DavidM ran it with a weekly series of questions and members mailed him directly. Then each week he digested these and came out with a revised vision *and* running prototype code. The latter is VERY important. I think the issues have been aired enough to make a good concise start. It is important to limit the discursion - this list is now rather noisy, and to set timelines. Of course they can be revised. But we are much wiser now about what we want. P.
