Hmm, I think using IE's canonical representation is a little simpler, and you can see that it generally produces reasonably good and interworkable XPointers, other than inconsistencies in the HEAD portion of the document. (See work by me and Nick Kew) Snufkin, and Annozilla also have DOM to XPointer implementations in straight JS+DOM. I think the bigger problem is the whole using XPointer into HTML docs at all, Tidy is perhaps a better solution for allowing that. Jim.
