RE: XPointer crisis


RE:  XPointer crisis
There was also my proposal to just leverage XLink labels for simple fragment identifiers:
 
This would mean extending the use of labels beyond simply labeling resources and locators within an extended link, but this seems to me to be a very logical extension. I don't see why we need IDs for this versus a simple label explicitly for the purpose of linking. Are people looking for guarantees of uniqueness, here, for the fragment identifier?

Leigh Dodds sent me some very useful pointers that summarize earlier discussion on this topic. The following XML Deviant article includes proposals by James Clark, and Tim Bray:

The following contains various proposals for xml:id attribute, etc. It is slightly outdated, but contains messages for/against each option:

Hope this helps anyone else who, like me, missed the initial debate.
