    <thetext>In order to ease authoring, and to converge with HTML syntax, we should examine the possibility of allowing a null-namespace &apos;href&apos; attribute on &lt;a&gt;, &lt;use&gt;, &lt;image&gt; and other elements.

Another option is to allow the use of &apos;xlink:href&apos; without an explicit XLink namespace declaration.

Note that both approaches do have drawbacks as well as advantages... see attached links.</thetext>
