Not quite, the links would not be part of the page then. However in OpenCms
6 / current CVSHEAD we have the XmlPage API which has everything like "give
me from xmlpage P the element named E with locale L. So this is fairly easy.
Writing content back the same. And the XmlPage even automatically gests
validated against the xmlpage DTD when you write it to the VFS.

Best Regards,
Alex.
