	Some form of XLink support seems reasonable.

	I couldn't figure out from the above links exactly what you're
suggesting.  Is it simply the specified architectural form support
described at both the above links?

	Topic Navigation Maps seems to be a meta-DTD, and RDF is a
DTD, so I'm not sure that they belong in the basic package, but
certainly they could be developed and distributed separately.  I don't
think specific DTDs or meta-DTDs are suitable for the basic package,
unless they turn out to be really, *really* common.  They're OK for
demos, of course, but I don't want to install lots of code that most
people won't use much.

	The Python code should also work fine in JPython (unless
1.5-isms have crept in), so a driver for Java SAX interfaces would
also be useful.  Before 1.0 I'll look into that.

First, you must know what the thing is, and then after learn the use of the
same.
