Hi Benno,I will go through our catalogs and add the xlink:type attribute. I'll also add it to our catalog generation tools.
That would be great.
my reading of xlink is that xlink:type is required, and the way we are using xlink its value is "simple".In the InvCatalog 0.6 spec xlink:type had a default value of "simple". Looks like that got dropped in 1.0. Does adding this as a default seem like a good idea? Or would requiring it but no default value be preferable?
There is no provision for a default value.The reason for doing this is so that we can build on top of software that already understands xlink, which, if we have not written it, is expecting xlink:type="simple" before processing it.
