20041014:XLink attributes vs url attribute

Hi all,

This message from Roland.

PS Roland, you sent this to thredds-dev and it bounced because ...

thredds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the open THREDDS list, thredds-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is a Unidata internal THREDDS list. Obviously, we didn't think about this being a confusing, non-standard naming scheme when we created the lists. Sorry for the confusion.
Hi Folks,

I was just studying the 1.0 Catalog Spec to see what I would like to steal for defining a more complete LAS metadata element.
When defining the <documentation> or <metadata> element, references to 
external URLs are specified using XLink attributes, but when defining a 
URL pointing to an external reference for the <creator> element a simple 
"url" attribute is used.
What is different about these two situations that lead to the choice of 
XLink attribute group vs. a single "url" attribute?
Roland
