There are as yet relatively few implementations of XLink and since there
has been little experience with it so far it's certainly appropriate to
discuss the strategy of implementation. Eliot Kimber wrote an extremely
valuable contribution last year (search the archive :-) which is worth
revisiting.
Personally I feel that XLink is one of the most powerful areas of the XML
family and some generic tools would be extremely useful. For example both
XML-data and RDF might benefit from being expressed in XLink if a link
processor were available. Is this reasonable?
I am certainly looking to use Xlink as the first choice for expressing
@relations' in science and technology - based on the hope that tools will
become available. A major advantage - as with all XML - is that it is much
more accessible to normal mortals than other approaches.
