Is it wise to require either XPath support in consumers or to
formulate a hackneyed XPath subset specifically for this purpose?
And what about namespaced elements? And what about intermediaries
which transcribe the content into a document with different NS
prefixes?

I think sticking to just an @ext:auto-download attribute
applicable to single elements is the wise thing to do.

Of course, I wonder if we can’t simply use @xlink:type for the
purpose… (I admit ignorance of the specifics of XLink, so this
idea might be useless.)
