Provides an address or identifier that permits an XLink application to find a remote resource, for example, a URI (such as a URL or filename), to link to an online site associated with the author or an online definition.
Of the many linking attributes that may be used, Href (Linking Mechanism) is the most important, because it names a link. The attribute is required for those elements that must link and is optional on other elements only in the sense that an element need not link. If an element links, this attribute is required.
