It's XML. I wonder if maybe there'd be a way to establish this a little more solidly as a means of providing metadata about links and inclusions. XLink already provides some metadata, but I suspect we're going to find more places where extra information about a link might be useful, and where they might be useful across multiple applications. The stylesheet example here is a good one. Edd also noted digital signatures, and I suspect there may be more lurking out there as eventual possibilities.
