I suspect that this is heading towards XLink.

not really. the important difference is that XLink links instances (it specifies links for concrete URIs), whereas LDX specifies how to discover links in media types. i think this is an important difference, and my post definitely failed to be very specific about this. the reason why i think it's important is that REST centers around media types and following links, and LDX should be a god match with that.

Ah I see. Just read your post again. I don't think link discovery on its own solves anything, unless the author of the representation or the media type says something about a link appearing at any given position an an XML document.
