Re: XPointer last call comment

 The XML Linking Working Group reviewed your comments [1] on the 
XPointer second Last Call working draft [2]. They were added to
the Issue List as Issue XP107 [3].
 The Disposition of Comment for XPointer Second Last Call list [4]
them (Issue (patent-carr) in 2.4). 
 Though we understand your concern we decided that the XML Linking
Working Group was not in a position to handle this problem. This need to
be handled at the Company and W3C level, this may influence the way W3C
members will vote at the Proposed Recommendation stage or even whether
Proposed Recommendation is granted. The working group has not resolved
the issue and defer the treatment of this issue to the next layer of
processing.
 Independantly Sun Microsystem issued a new IPR statement on XPointer:

 If you are still concerned by the issue I suggest you raise the
problem during the upcoming AC Meeting, or with the W3C Patent Group.

  Thanks for your feedback, we would appreciate if you could express
if the resolution of this issue fits your expectations.
