The XPointer spec doesn't seem to specify whether the first child of an element is /0 or /1? Since the grammar allows /0 I'm inclined to suspect counting starts at 0, but it could simply be a case of a less prescriptive grammar than is possible. Can anyone clarify? If it is supposed to start at 1, I'd suggest chyanging the Tumbler production as follows: Tumbler ::= ( '/' [1-9][0-9]* )+ +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@metalab.unc.edu | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Java I/O (O'Reilly & Associates, 1999) | | http://metalab.unc.edu/javafaq/books/javaio/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=1565924851/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://metalab.unc.edu/javafaq/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
