Hi Mike. I agree with you, from a given viw point. To spin the matter the other way one might say that XLink currently has a lot of actuation semantics. I *think* XLink is supposed to be describing "usage" links rather than just indexes.... otherwise it would be XIndex :) Cheers Guy. xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on 04/23/99 12:32:13 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cc: (bcc: Guy Murphy/UK/MAID) Subject: RE: xlxp-dev: XSL and editing tools > Paul Prescod had an excellent suggestion (forwarded below) on > xlxp-dev, the > XLink/XPointer list, regarding XSL, CSS, and editing documents.

I think the real problem is that XLink as currently conceived has a lot of presentation semantics. In XML I usually represent relationships using database-style foreign keys rather than XLink-style URLs, and I regard it as a function of the rendering process to translate these foreign keys into navigable hyperlinks where appropriate.
