Yes I'm aware of xlink. The reason I'm thinking about going lower in the layer stack is the re-invention thing. Not that XLink is not useful, but for example atom did not use it, and there are probably other examples. Maybe just the fact that the document has to define the namespace is enough to deter the use of the xlink:href. xml:lang etc don't suffer from this. Linking is not inherent only to presentation, necessarily. It is vital to changing application state, however. As I understand it, mastery of the web was a goal of XML, so I'm just dreaming a little.
