I would love XPointer support; it would make commenting on arbitrary portions of pages much easier. I can see how XPointer would be problamatic on non-well formed HTML pages, though. What if we simplified it and said that XPointer would only be supported on XHTML pages? That would drastically simplify things; you simply couldn't use XPointer unless it was an XHTML page. Better to have it in a simple case than try to define an HTML Pointer which might get _very_ nasty.
