/ Bob Stayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was heard to say:
| Well, I disagree.
| Doesn't removing linkend in DocBook 5 break the protocol

You're right, which effectively closes the issue. I thought that we
had an FU comment in 4.0 that there would be changes associated with
links for XLink support, but I'm mistaken.
| Besides, why can't they exist together? I don't understand
| the idea of "winning" here. A linkend (an IDREF)
<link id="foo" linkend="foo"
xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="http://nwalsh.com/";>Is this link
self-referential?</link>
<link id="foo" linkend="foo"
xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="#bar">Is this one?</link>
<ulink url="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/";
xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="#bar">What does this mean?</link>
My "winning" comment applied to the case when both were specified and they
pointed to different things. (Well, it applied to when they pointed to the same
things too, but that's not a very interesting case :-)
Be seeing you,
