[MEI-L] <graphic> and external references

[Alastair Porter]

Hi,

I've been working on revalidating some old files against the latest version
of the MEI schema (I've generated an RNG file from branches/MEI_dev)
and have a question about the attributes to the <graphic> element.
The att.pointing attribute list contains definitions for attributes
pointing to external sources. @actuate, @role, @show, and @title are
defined in the xlink schema, however @target and @targettype are not. Old
versions of the schema (e.g the tag library at
http://music-encoding.org/documentation/tagLibrary/graphic) appear to use
xlink:href for external sources instead.
Is there a reason that these target attributes are not the xlink ones (e.g.
xlink:href)?

Thanks,
Alastair
