hello. reading through the latest xpointer draft (wd-xptr-19991206), i noticed the following points: section 1.3: in the definition of "resource", some of the text has been duplicated. definition of "singleton": in my opinion, in terms of xml characters, all items in a list constitute a contiguous portion of a document, even if they could alternatively be represented by distinct tree nodes. is that my misunderstanding, or is the just the example not perfect? what about only some of a list's items? these are clearly non-contiguous, in the tree- as well as in the character-perspective. or is the term "singleton" only used as a characterization of single locations and not xpointers (which can identify location sets)? i am a bit confused here... section 2.1.2: in the last sentence, i think it should rather read "...to work with an XML document target...". otherwise i do not understand the sentence at all, because how would it be possible to declare an attribute's type in html, where everyhting is fixed by the spec? kind regards, erik wilde.
