XPointer was indicated to me as a general solution to the problem of identifying and locating specific elements (or nodes) in an XML document (1). I generally ignored XPointer, as it was only a rough draft/candidate recommendation. However, after doing some research, I came across an interesting roadblock (2): Ids are not recognized in a well-formed XML document without a proper DTD or Schema. I have some ideas; however, historically most of them have already been thought of by other (more intelligent) people. So, rather that provide a solution to a problem that may already be solved, I'm going to ask if there is a solution... My question: Has the problem with XPointer Bare Names referencing ids, which the XPointer processor must get from the XML processor somehow, been solved? If so, what is it? If not, is the document in note (2) still up-to-date (as it is about five or six months behind us)? --- Jimmy Cerra --- (1) Blame Mr. Allen: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2002Apr/0053.html (2) Look at: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/11/07/id.html?page=1 ---
