Interesting. I have also run into this problem. I guessed that this
might be the reason. Would it be possible to extend the
'elementTemplate' configuration element to work for the "Convert" and
"Convert [wrap]" commands, so that we could do something like this in
a customization:
<elementTemplate name="href">
<db:link xlink:href=""/>
</elementTemplate>
<elementTemplate name="linkend">
<db:link linkend=""/>
</elementTemplate>
And then have those two options explicitly available as possibilities
when trying to convert? That way the end result would be valid by
explicitly choosing one of the two mutually exclusive options.
Thanks for your consideration,
John L. Clark
