hello. i would like to point out again that a solution for the xlink/xhtml dilemma could be to define xlink as a data model, and to see xlink 1.0 and xhtml as two different syntaxes for this xlink data model (xhtml would be a syntax with some restrictions). this way people wouldn't need to worry about namespaces in the markup, and still xlink 1.0 and xhtml would be based on the same data model. this approach would make link harvesting harder because one would need to recognize xhtml as well as xlink 1.0 markup, but at least after doing this both representations of links could be treated uniformly, because the are built on the same foundation. cheers, erik wilde - tel:+41-1-6325132 - fax:+41-1-6321035 mailto:net.dret@d... - http://dret.net/ computer engineering and networks laboratory swiss federal institute of technology (eth) * try not. do, or do not. there is no try. * ps: http://dret.net/netdret/docs/tikrep148.pdf is a proposal for such a data model, and i am currently trying to convince enough people so that w3c will consider it as a work item.
