actually another example...
even though hypertext does not nec mean clickable links, a good example of non-html hypertext linking is a SMIL file that allows clicking visual media to go to a web page.

no HTML here at all.

since an application *can* be built and prob has been built to handle xml just as a web browser handles html....
that's all that is needed to be known here.  admittedly, xml is used as a format for data transport.. but hypertext is an umbrella and xml does reside beneath it.

All you need from the Human-Computer Interface is some way of "following" links.

I guess my question here is (and I ask only because you've got me thinking =P) ...

HTML is a mark up language.  It comes with rules (or at least universal assumptions) as to how that markup language should be rendered.  Thus it choses your engine for you. (an HTML complaint browser).

XML is just a data set.  you can open it in notepad.  Usually you open it with an application that has no user interface to the xml at all, but rather parses that data and then outputs a format with links which can be followed ... based on the data with in the xml elements.

I dont think there is anything in XLM that makes a link able to be followed.  And XML isn't meant at all to provide that is it?  Its meant to be comsumed and if appropriate output in a mannor that humans can use.  There isn't a set way to show links and make them interactive unless that data is first transformed either by XLST or some application parsing.
