The XML Proposed Recommendation (at
http://www.w3.org/TR/PR-xml-971208#NT-SkipLit) had
[15] SkipLit ::= ('"' [^"]* '"') | ("'" [^']* "'")
and its only use as
[11] SystemLiteral ::= SkipLit
In the XML Recommendation (at
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#NT-SystemLiteral), they cut out
the middleman:
[11] SystemLiteral ::= ('"' [^"]* '"') | ("'" [^']* "'")
XPointer's three references to "SkipLit" (all in section 5.2.2) should
presumably be changed to "SystemLiteral".
