I'm probably as responsible as anyone. And for my efforts, I got
to be the editor, so I've clearly paid for my sins :-)
Years ago, when DocBook was deciding how to do linking in DocBook
V5.0, we decided to use xlink:href.

Not to me. To me, it's point 1 of http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink10-ext/
that's important to me: making simple XLinks an application-level
default.

In order for DocBook V5.0 to be conformant to XLink w/o attribute
defaulting, we needed XLink 1.1 so that the xlink:type attribute is
optional.
Be seeing you,
