Read it. All of it. For the third time. I like HyTime, a
lot. It informed XLink development on a number of levels, and by
proxy, will inform my current efforts.

I don't think semantics can adequately be attached in
stylesheets. I think rendering can, but that's a wholly different animal.
I think that, just as we're looking at two camps, we're also
looking at two different ideas: 1) Making CSS do good things with
links, in the XLink conceptual model. 2) Making a way for all the
various linking specs to get along and share a common foundation,
from which linking applications (as in, programs -and- XML
applications) can be built.
As an aside...
