Rumor has it that the W3C's Amaya does (simple links, anyway), though I haven't been able to make that work. A quick search of Microsoft's site for 'XLink' brings up very little. Most interesting is a page on the XML Interchange Format (http://msdn.microsoft.com/repository/techmat/XML/xifspec.htm) that claims: >XML Links provides concepts to describe links between objects in XML >documents. Links are still in a draft state in the W3C, see XML Linking >Language (Xlink). XML Links are currently not used in XIF since their >addition would not add more expressiveness or simplify the concepts. >However, care has been taken to ensure that the specified format is >compatible with current proposals. Even I have a hard time pushing Microsoft to support a standard that's been in a working-draft deep freeze for over a year, however.
