That is, instead of the 'genid1' suggested above, there should be an XPointer-compliant fragment, which is indeed a better idea. And we would have an URI having the litteral string as its CONTENT, and no more need for a special treatment of litterals, which is IMHO the important point. Pierre-Antoine
