[Sorry, that message escaped my Pilot before I got to include the references.] There are two areas where Xpointer may be relevant to signed-XML (so keep your eye on [1]): 1. application: the use of a hash on an XML document to have an assurance that the content referenced by an Xpointer has not been changed since the pointer was created. 2. dependency: the use of the more advanced locators could be used to provide for the scoping/filtering operations of some signed-XML applications. [2] (I'm not sure how much of that functionality should be part of signed-XML anyway.)
