I think it may be important to be clear about your non-contiguous portions. Specifically, will they be restricted to what the XML Fragment spec calls well-balanced regions, or do they need to be able to be un-well-balanced? If the latter, that will probably raise a lot more issues and require a lot more coordination, say, with the XML Infoset and DOM and Fragments and XPointer and such (since most XML processes work on a tree or node model of XML element structure which wouldn't allow un-well-balanced regions). paul
