>You can, easily. You want to style it, use a stylesheet:

         I'd rather not use a transformation when I should just be 
able use something like:

link {
         xlink-href: "http://www.prodigal.ca";
         color: blue;
         text-decoration: underline;
}

         Or even better, modify CSS to allow for attribute 
inspection, and thus author intent:

link {
         xlink-href: ||location; /* where the || indicates an 
attribute inspection
         color: blue;
         text-decoration: underline;
}

         Seems a lot more straightforward that 10 lines of XSLT that 
95% of your audience isn't going to understand or want to bother to learn.

         I'm busily writing up my thoughts on using XLink concepts in 
CSS. I'll post a link when it's readable. It'll explain my thoughts 
on this more clearly, I think.
