Karl, I'm still not very confident in the progress and deployment of XPointer. I'm glad you are able to use it for fast subtree processing but the expressions when encoded as URIs aren't very readable and an omission filter is not readily expressible. On the plus side, I expect the new XPath transform will be smaller, will be trivial to implement given the present code, and we can advance even faster than the exc-c14n spec. -- Joseph Reagle Jr. http://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/ W3C Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org IETF/W3C XML-Signature Co-Chair http://www.w3.org/Signature/ W3C XML Encryption Chair http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/
