Since http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5543 has been marked
resolved, opening this bug so we do not lose track of the portion of 5543 the
wg deferred consideration of until after LC according to
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5543#c16 (2), copied here:

(2) in Comment #15 will be considered post 2nd LC draft

In other words, the subject of this bug is
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5543#c15 part 2, copied here:

2. The responsibility division between 4.3.1 and 4.3.1.1 are not very clear.

4.3.1 goes through effort to compute the document (D) that potentially contains
the target, but D is not passed to 4.3.1.1. In 4.3.1.1, it mentioned the
concept of "Document context", which is not a term defined in XPointer
Framework.

I think it'd be easier to understand if

a. Change bullet i in 4.3.1 to something like "If ..., then the reference
target is obtained by applying the fragment component to D, as defined in
section 4.3.1.1 smlxpath1() scheme."

b. Remove bullet 5 from 4.3.1.1

c. Change (the current) bullet 6 to "For a given document D, the element
targeted by a scheme instance is obtained by applying the location path in
SMLXPath1_SchemeData to the root element of D. ..."
