Force d3 to output the xlink namespace on anchor tags
vis.select('#points')
.selectAll('.point')
.enter()
.append('svg:a')
.attr('xlink:xlink:href', '#') // add the namespace TWICE
.append('svg:circle')
// and so on and so forth

We wracked our brains too much on this one... D3 seemed to be removing the xlink namespace from our SVG anchor tags. As a result, the links wouldn't work. At first we assumed Chrome was removing the namespace, but realized it wasn't even present in the source (not just not showing in the Web Inspector).

So yah. It's 2014 and we are super happy that we got links to work on a web site.
