[vos-d] XOD questions

[Peter Amstutz]

No, and it shouldn't do that -- the goal is to have the XML DOM 
structure reflect the VOS structure in a meaningful way.  If you spread 
essential information for a single vobject all over the document such 
that it requires that you must process the entire document before being 
able to do anything, you're not really working with XML, you're working 
with XML-flavored tag soup.

Of course, the internal cross-references we do have (mostly confined to 
the <link> tag, I think, which *is* a special case) use VOS paths 
instead of XML identifiers and anchors, but that's another discussion...
