[Chris Maden, summarizing a number of replies to my question:] | TEI and, I believe, HyQ, use sibling relationships for addressing; | e.g., start at the element whose SGML ID is "foo" and traverse three | nodes to the right. | | If DTD-less parsing creates spurious CDATA nodes, then the target of | an address can be different from that for a DTD-ful parse. What this seems to add up to is that treeloc uses a different way of thinking about what a sibling is than I do. Frankly, I like my way better. I can see where defining pseudo-elements as nodes could be useful in addressing arbitrary spans of text, but if the price for resolving our problem is that the only elements that I can address in XML are the real ones, then that is a price I would be willing to pay.
