But a link can also be a URI/URL. According to the TDG[1]:
»The link is a general purpose hypertext element. [...]
If it has an xlink:href attribute, link is the equivalent of an
HTML anchor (<html:a href=""...">)" for cross reference
with a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).«
Maybe I didn't understand your argument. But why introduce
another element when there is already a general purpose element
for this issue? :-)
Bye,
