Eric van der Vlist worries: > I have been long to understand this, but the consequence of XPointer > as currently stated is that to claim to support the text/xml media > type any application MUST support W3C XML Schema. XML Media Types, RFC 3023 [1], mentions XPointer as one possibility for fragment identification, but that is not currently required. If XPointer requires PSVI support (my reading of [2], at least when a document references a schema), then I think it will be a very hard sell to require XPointer conformance for those media types. It might be sensible if a bit odd to create application/psvi or somesuch for applications of XML which rely on the PSVI, but that's just one possibility.
