XLink and XPointer
XLink will provide sophisticated hyperlinking missing in HTML:
- Links that lead user to multiple destinations
- Bidirectional links
- Links with special behaviours:
- Expand-in-place / Replace / Create new window
- Link on load / Link on user action
- Link databases
XPointer will provide access to arbitrary portions of XML resource
XSL stylesheet language will provide extensibility and transformation facilities (e.g. create a table of contents)
