When advocating XML in other communities such as VRML, XLink is cited as one of the advantages of XML. Not being part of the deliberations, I am uncertain as to what the delays are given that the original drafts were promising and on the surface, quite clear. For the work I am doing, an XLink model would be useful if for nothing else, the properties, just as the RDF Dublin Core has been and XSchema may be.
