Moving to XML

A bit about the other bits [ii]: XLink

• In HTML, you need to use a special element (the A or Anchor tag) to be the start of a link
• In XML any element can be the start of a link
  • Currently, Mozilla/Netscape 6 is the only 'mainstream' browser which partly supports this
  • W3C's Amaya 4 also partly supports it
  • Several other demo and prototype implementations
    • Full list here
  • No mainstream browser fully supports XLink
