I can't seem to find any mention of resolving URI-references to documents in
the current XPointer draft.  It seems to only describe how to address
fragments within an XML resource (presumably, once it has been resolved and
fetched).  Could you point me at the relevant sections?

Anyhow, the XPointer draft lists RFC 2396 as a "normative" reference, yet
the treatment of fragments you describe would go against the established
treatment of fragments as outlined in the RFC.  Why?  Is it an oversight?

Again, from RFC 2396, section 5.2:
[[

   For each URI reference, the following steps are performed in order:

   1) The URI reference is parsed into the potential four components and
      fragment identifier, as described in Section 4.3.
]]

i.e. scheme, authority, path and query parts of the URI, plus possibly a
fragment identifier.

[[
   2) If the path component is empty and the scheme, authority, and
      query components are undefined, then it is a reference to the
      current document and we are done.  Otherwise, the reference URI's
      query and fragment components are defined as found (or not found)
      within the URI reference and not inherited from the base URI.
]]

i.e. a fragment on its own => "it is a reference to the current document and
we are done".
