RE: [xml-dev] A bunch of components, but no mandated organization - reasonable?
Good catch, Jeff.  Links are relationships and relationships 
are analogous to genotypes.   A question of interest is 
whether or not it is possible to dynamically discover and 
declare link types.   Sure depending on the language. 
We dynamically generate and name queries all the time.

Wow.  We are all the way back to hytime now.

This type of behavior is pretty common too, for example "Extract all 
links from a document". I assume that this question has as its impetus 
multiple document formats with mixed namespaces... is that right? In 
this case the link example is even more useful because narrowing down 
the repeatable XLink components is fairly easy.
