Recreating A HREF=

The parts of a simple link

xlink:type When assigned the value 'simple', identifies the link as a 'simple' link. The link is inline and unidirectional and contains a single target destination in an href attribute.
xlink:href Contains the URI that represents the target of this link.
xlink:role Provides a "description of the link's content". For simple links, could be used to style different kinds of links differently. Value must be a URI.
xlink:arcrole Describes the resource at the end of the xlink:href URI. For simple links, could be used to style different targets of links differently. Value must be a URI.
xlink:title Provides a human-readable title for the link, pretty much like the popup text that appears now in some browsers.
xlink:show Provides the options new (appear in new window), embed (included in text), and replace (appears in the current window) for the link content, as well as other and none.
xlink:actuate Offers the choices onRequest (wait for user activation) and onLoad (process automatically) to indicate when link processing should happen. other and none provide additional application-dependent options.
