As do I. I just find myself fighting battles to keep domains clean these days. It is hard to do with all of these metalanguages floating around competing for mindshare and warping concepts along the way. On the other hand, I can build quite a bit of stuff and never touch XLinks (useful though it is). I can build a lot less without namespaces because I can't aggregate in a file without it. We only need namespace because we cracked the wall of the document root as named in the doctype and made a hierarchical namespace do a join so to speak. This is an excellent topic for a boundary layer discussion. Namespace entered the class definitions as a sort of "demanded hidden attribute value". So it's there in the grove/infoset. An XLink would not be in the core grove/infoset. Let's not revisit the namespaceAsNamedSemantic thread today. Nosebleed city and my anemia is at dangerous levels already. :-) Separate question: do you think the modeling language can warp the XML? Do you find yourself stuffing wrapper tags in because: a) need the triple and the hierarchy gets unbalanced so you find yourself putting in a extra tag as switch b) someone requires a context-free parse In either case, something like <children> or <propertySets> enters an otherwise content-based markup language?

But I consider XLink a core application of XML as much as one may consider object definition languare a core facility of ODMG. I think this is pretty much a matter of user preference. After all, even namespaces are just a layer on top.
