This seems formally correct, but I need to think about it :-)
Two things that cames in mind:
- a named content can be embedded in more than one page. I think the
proposed model addresses this issue anyway.
- most of the times we are annotating "specific sections" of a named
content. E.g. a word in a paragraph (where the paragraph is marked up as a
named content). In this case we use Xpointers like the following:
xpointer(start-point(string-range(//DIV[@about='
http://example.org/section/123
']/P[2]/text()[1],'',1))/range-to(string-range(//DIV[@about='
http://example.org/section/123']/P[2]/text()[1],'',16)))>
To indicate a text in the second <p> inside the named content
http://example.org/section/123.
This allows us to resolve the xpointer independently from the page where it
is embedded.
How would I model this with selectors? not sure

best,

Christian
