Re: newbe question

Oh. The Xpointer solution only works for XML - e.g. well formed XHTML or
other XML documents.

Some work has been done by Nick Kew and Jim Ley on what they call a fuzzy
pointer - a way of describing parts of a document in HTML and other non-XML,
to use in EARL (an RDF vocabulary for describing how a document or part of a
document conforms to an arbitrary requirement).

(will look for URI later today :(
