I agree to that, but if you study the code above in more detail, you will see non standard linking - XLink with different roles given to links. In addition XPointer was not well implemented in the major browser last time I tried. May be Google are ahead of the other SE's and browser developers.

And especially for:
- Consistent document handling (XML Schema) in large companies and
- One (XML) source and many applications (XSL(T) transformations).
