I think the two alternatives we are discussing are:

1. Keep the following phrase:

> Support of the xpointer() scheme [XPointer-xpointer] beyond the
> minimal usage discussed in this section is discouraged.

Possibly with a change as suggested during the call:

> [XPointer-xpointer] is in Working Draft status as of publication
> of this edition of XML Signature.  Therefore, support of the
> xpointer() scheme beyond the minimal usage discussed in this
> section is discouraged.

2. Drop this section completely, since it is felt to unduly
deprecate existing implementations.
