  Hum, XLink processing is usually very high level, it really is something
you expect to be done at the application level the toolkit can't really
help, the only steps which could be shared are link detection, and I'm not
sure it's really useful to try to build such an API. Generic XPath expressions
can certainly do it without creating yet another set of XML APIs ...
