You appear to be talking about writing code to process XPointers by looking at raw XML. I'm talking more about the specs. My point is that the XPointer specs are already written based on the infoset, and they (as specs) don't need to care how things got into the infoset. > If I build a streaming parser for XPointer that uses xml:idattr, If you build something that isn't an XML parser, you're on your own. I see no reason for W3C specs to care about that scenario. If you build an XML parser and it doesn't provide the infoset with the necessary values, then that parser cannot be used in applications that require such values. The XPointer specs right now make clear what values they require from the infoset. A processor that doesn't provide the necessary infoset is not a compliant XPointer processor. paul
