I am currently trying to establish the level of implementation (or not) of XLink and XPointer functionality in "user agents". Netscape 6 provides some simple XLink functionality natively as well as via, for example, the Adobe SVG Viewer when used to display SVG. Internet Explorer 5.5 seems to provide no XLink functionality, at present, even with MSXML3. Am I missing something or is XLink functionality simply absent from IE5.5? In IE5.5 I can use XLinks when linking SVG pages but not otherwise. In Opera 5 XLink support seems to be totally absent, either natively and when using an SVG viewer. The W3C web site at http://www.w3.org/XML/Linking claims that Amaya supports simple XLinks. In my experience it doesn't support code which, for example, Netscape 6 will display correctly. The Amaya 4.2.1 XLink support is more apparent than real in my experience hitherto. Am I missing some real functionality? My first question is, "Have I overlooked any signficant XLink functionality in user agents?". My second question, is there any beta/pre-release software of IE6 or Opera 5.x or 6 where XLink (or XPointer) is being implemented to which I might get access? Thanks in advance. Andrew Watt
