Hi folks, I believe that the xpointer spec is deficient in addressing its support of the xLink embed capability. Namely, if I create an xLink with embed capability (show="parsed") and use an xpointer to locate a node within the target XML document, what set of notes will be returned? The spec does not address this. Matter of fact, the spec seems to suggest that it does not support the embed capability. In section 2.4 it states: "XPointers are not a general query mechanism, they are a specification of document locations." Here's the bottom line. I am sure that you support the xLink embed capability. My point is that the spec doesn't seem to describe how it supports it. /Roger
