• uri:
  Example: <p>Further information is available at <uri>http://my.url</uri> on the interweb.</p>
• <ext-link> is using for incomplete URLs, e.g. URLs without http://
• <ext-link> is using display text and the actual link are different:
  Example: <ext-link xlink:href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/20000-1">ISO/IEC 20000-1 online survey</ext-link></p>

mnconvert updated. Now link converts to the uri and ext-link:

• ext-link, if url isn't start with http:, https:, ftp:, mailto:, or link/@target is different than the text in link
• otherwise uri

Examples:

• <link target="https://www.iso.org/obp"/> converts to
  <uri>https://www.iso.org/obp</uri>
• <link target="http://www.iso.org/directives">www.iso.org/directives</link> converts to
  <ext-link xlink:href="http://www.iso.org/directives">www.iso.org/directives</ext-link>
• <link target="http://standards.iso.org/iso/10303/tech/step_titles.htm">ISO website</link> converts to
  <ext-link xlink:href="http://standards.iso.org/iso/10303/tech/step_titles.htm">ISO website</ext-link>
• <link target="mailto:[email protected]"/> converts to
  <uri>mailto:[email protected]</uri></p>
