Describing a new format's integration into existing infrastructure is about the most basic and obvious requirement for W3C Technical Reports.

That's either a stupid idea in which case this needs to be pointed out in XLink or it's reasonable in which case conformance to the specifications must not be mutually exclusive. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
