xlink?

Mike,

Do you know much about xlink?  

The following example was posted to the MODS list, which strikes me as
quite interesting. This suggests it ought to be possible to link chapters
to books and articles to journals as well...

I'm unclear on how an XSLT processor handles these links though, as my
initial experiments (with an external file containing just journal names)
didn't work.
