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. Ann
