/ "Bob DuCharme" <bob@s...> was heard to say: | I think that this was part of XLink's problem: the SGML influence was on | how to model links so that they could be converted to links in multiple | media, and the W3C (HTML) influence was on how to specify link behavior in | browsers (with lots of accessibility caveats thrown in to make it clear | that the spec was talking about ideal browsers of the future), and | specification for modeling links with specification for implementing them, | however generalized, made it a messy spec. Indeed. | equivalents, as appropriate, I'd rather see XLink add to the richness of | the semantic relationships expressed within DocBook and other semantic | markup schemas so that XSLT can convert that markup to hypertext links, or | TOCs, or endnotes, or popups, or whatever is appropriate for the output | medium in question. One of my personal motivations for touching XLink again was to make it practical to use XLink in DocBook in a post-DTD world. DocBook V5.0 uses XLink more-or-less ubiquitously. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@n...> | It is good to have an end to journey http://nwalsh.com/ | toward; but it is the journey that | matters, in the end.--Ursula K. LeGuin
