Thanks... bad news :(
Maybe I'm missing something here, but how come external links
are so easy to do with HTML, but seems impossible in XML?
Or is this solved with XPointer/XLink or whatever it's called?
It's really such an obvious feature of any document set,
regardless of format...

BTW, I cannot even get *internal* links (cross-refs) to round-trip
between XML and FM. Sigh...
