Re: Preparing for a new update

[Kimbro Staken]

dbXML has autolinking which is pretty much a combination between XInclude 
and XLink. It's just an experimental feature though and has issues in 
relation to the current API. It's also of course specific to dbXML and 
ties the inserted documents to our server. Overall we don't recommend 
people use this because of that. I still believe the functionality is 
valuable though and a more interoperable mechanism will need to be 
developed.

Tamino also has a schema based way of doing linking but that is even less 
XLink like then dbXML's autolinking.

Beyond that I'm not aware of any other products that have anything similar.

This seems like a separate project. Do you really see it being part of 
the
API?
Do any XML databases support XLink yet? I'm not aware of any, although
many have talked about it. Putting XLink into the interface may be
premature, although we might be able to drive development this way.
