Hi, I have two questions, one about XPath case-sensitivity and one about child sequences in XPointer. 1. The string functions of XPath (starts-with(), contains(), etc.) all seem to be case-sensitive. Is there a way to do case- insensitive string comparison in XPath. We would need this if we're going to use XPointer as the underlying base for a Find/Find&Replace dialog window in our product. 2. Do child sequences in XPointer include comments and processing instructions? The spec. says that child sequences select among "child elements" which to me implies that comments and PIs are skipped. This seems to differ from the position() function in XPath. If this is true, then maybe it should be noted explicitly in the XPointer spec?
