For XHTML documents served as 'application/xhtml+xml', "3. Fragment identifiers" of RFC 3236 says as follows: At the time of writing, [XMLMIME] does not define syntax and semantics of fragment identifiers, but refers to "XML Pointer Language (XPointer)" for a future XML fragment identification mechanism. The current specification for XPointer is available at http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr. Until [XMLMIME] gets updated, fragment identifiers for XHTML documents designate the element with the corresponding ID attribute value (see [XML] section 3.3.1); any XHTML element with the "id" attribute. > The question is not how does XPointer into HTML compare to XPointer into > XHTML, but can we point to something in an HTML document? "It depends". Regards, -- Masayasu Ishikawa / mimasa@w3.org W3C - World Wide Web Consortium
