Agree.

I think it can work in this case, since the element section for IncludedXPath etc is at a high level regarding functionality, gives the syntax and then should refer to the algorithm in the algorithms section (might need to add a forward reference).

However if we consider the algorithm section only for pluggable security algorithms (which was probably the original intent) then I think I agree with you. (As a thought experiment, if in 2.0 we were to move algorithms to a separate document, would we move the Byte Range selection algorithm out with that document (section 8.6.3)? I would say no.)

The net proposal is to simply move section 8.6 and 8.7 as is, under 4.4.3 (The Reference Element) Section, following 4.4.3.3 .

Is this what you are thinking?
