(Do we really want to reignite this permathread here and now?)

Why does XLink work pretty well in monolithic vocabularies?

Because there the disadvantages (complexity, namespace haze, lack of
implementations) don't have much effect.

Why does XLink have problems with mixed vocabularies?

Because it uses a single attribute name (xlink:href) for multiple purposes.
One way to keep things separate is proposed at SkunkLink.

XLink works pretty well in monolithic vocabularies, but runs into problems
when you start mixing and matching.
