See §2.1: The notion of resources is universal to the World Wide Web. [Definition: As discussed in [IETF RFC 2396], a resource is any addressable unit of information or service.] The examples you raise discuss *participating* resources: local resources, remote resources, etc. Everything addressable by a locator (which in the case of XPointer is every character, text node, element, attribute, comment, processing instruction, point between chararacters, point between other nodes, and range of any of these - in short, everything in the document) is a resource. The question for any given link is which resources participate in the link, and that is answered by looking at the locators for that particular link. To address one of your examples directly, if an element is a local resource, and it has children, the children are not explicitly local resources, but they are certainly part of the resource in question. -Chris -- Christopher R.
