The main thing that seems to be broken is the way you refer to URLs and XPointers. You should be using the term "URI reference" which is defined in RFC 2396. URI reference allows a URI, or a relative URI, either optionally followed by a fragment ID. The syntax of the fragment ID is determined by the MIME type of the resource retrieved, so there's no need to mention XPointers explicitly or say anything other than that it's a URI reference. In particular the value of fragbodyref should be a URI reference (MIME content ids would be allowed by using the CID URI scheme). Saying it's "any reference whose semantic is known to the processor" is non-interoperable, unnecessary and inconsistent with general Web architectural principles. (Dan is eloquent on this one.) I would recommend in C using multipart/related and cid URLs rather than the Content-Disposition header. multipart/related + CID URLs would work fine both for a MUA and over HTTP (eg with a browser), whereas Content-Disposition only really makes sense for an MUA. With Content-Disposition the recipient of the mail would have to manually invoke the XML processor; with multipart/related + CID URLs it can happen transparently and automatically. I don't see why Ancestors and Preceding Siblings of Ancestors are necesssary for validating parsing of a fragment. (They are in SGML but I can't see how they are in XML.)
