Even without complete XLink, a small subset can already be useful. It  
would be a nice feature for schema language if for instance I could  
check in my SVG document that its fill and stroke links (which are  
CSS links, not XLinks, just to add to the fun) point to valid paint  
servers, that inclusion elements point to the correct media types, etc..
