    <thetext>According to the Bugzilla search results for “xlink”, WebKit already seems to support XLink — but only in SVG documents. I propose that it should be allowed in any XML document; then, no munging to XHTML (e.g. with XSLT) would be required for an XML document with CSS stylesheet to be rendered as-is in WebKit.</thetext>

    <thetext>Currently it is not possible to get any hyperlinks in pure XML documents without mixing with XHTML because there are no CSS extensions like Opera&apos;s -o-link and no xlink support. This is a serious limitation.

    <thetext>Bugzilla has experienced amnesia today, here is a comment that was lost:

http://www.snee.com/xml/xlink/sxlinkdemo.xml

is an xml document that&apos;s used to showcase mozilla&apos;s xLink support, which is
better, but also poor.</thetext>

    <thetext>Mozilla opted to not extend Xlink support beyond SVG and marked their bug as RESOLVED WONTFIX - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=xlink

Further, it is also deprecated in SVG2 - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href

Can we close this, if we are not planning to extend XLINK. Thanks!</thetext>
