It doesn't read that way to me at all.  Can you explain?  No such thing is in 
the text, so you'll have to show how it may be in the subtext.

So how often do you use architectural forms?

I must say that for the vocabularies I deal with, I prefer XLink's current 
approach to the AF approach.  It's possible that I would feel differently 
about this is XML had an AF mechanism that was as simple and widespread as XML 
Namespaces.
