Which inline elements do you mean here (i.e., which PE definitions)?
Or, do you mean anything that can be found inside of <para>?

There's a reasonably good case for making block elements such as section
and chapter take xlinks as well; it makes it easier to compose larger
works from smaller works without resorting to defining entities in the
local subset, especially when using xlink:show="embed".

(Perhaps this means that there are a class of elements where xlink:show
is only meaningful if it is xlink:show="embed"...)

For those of us who aren't keeping track of XLink progress, can
you please provide a 30-second refresher of what an extended link
is?  :-)

Thanks muchly,
