While I don't have access to the full (lengthy, repeated often) discussions 
currently at home, I do want to step in here and say it's NOT in any way 
shape or form "simply an aesthetic issue". There are real fundamental 
capabilities that were not addressed in the XLink spec, despite many 
comments and protests (in fact the requirements for XLink were rewritten 
midstream with a result that avoided some of the HTML WG's requirements).

I'll make an effort to post a concise and complete list of issues that lead 
to the development of HLink as an option on Monday.
