If there was anything even approaching the ability to model link relationships in XSL-FO or especially CSS, XLink would be pointless. However, since the groups responsible for those specs seem to think that unidirectional links are the beginning and end of the conversation, XLink fits a niche role. Hopefully, they'll get a clue, at some point, and use the ideas behind XLink as a basis for putting link behavior where it belongs -- in the styling languages. Then the rest of us will be able to model our links however we want. Of course, that'll probably happen around the time Microsoft actually implements, say, the entire HTML or CSS specs. ;^) --->Ben
