I would to, I don't think requiring XPointer is a necessarily a good idea, but the reason given that "it's not appropriate for the spec to require things" is simply misleading and was done from a position of power to stop debate, rather than as a sensible argument of why it's not appropriate. Seen as both Opera and Mozillla already have an XPointer implementation (or Opera will have as soon as they have a conformant SVG viewer) I hardly think the requirement is particular onerous one, and should certainly be discussed on its merits not on simply "it's not appropriate".
