DOCBOOK: Re: Linking in DocBook V5.0

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Bob Stayton <bobs@caldera.com> was heard to say:
| This is why I think it is not yet practical to let

| And if it can't be expressed, I doubt it will be used much.

Yes, that's one of the factors that motivates me as well. We'll have
enough trouble with nested inlines. (And, btw, my gut reaction is to
generate broken HTML. The browser ought to handle nested links, gosh
darn it. Oh, I know I'll get talked out of it, but that's still my gut
reaction.)
