so better to write <link embed="yes" target="chap1.xml"/> (making up
markup as I go along), and not use entities. Then you can control the
expansion in XSL. There are other issues, worrying about searching
across the entire flattened tree, which will are amusing to consider,
of course. XSLT "node-set" extensions would come in handy there.

as an aside, I think the extension is so fundamental, I have stopped
caring about whether its portable. I just won't use a processor which
does not have such an extension....
