XPointer already has a provision for short forms (i.e. ...#xyzzy).

I guess it depends on how you see the fix being expressed:  is it a
fix to XML 1.0 plus Namespaces that some formulation determines the
type of some attribute as ID?  Or is it that #xyzzy points to IDs _or_ 
values of attributes picked out by some formulation?

If the former, then XPointer doesn't need to change.

If the latter, then it does.

Independently of the impact on XPointer, if we're doing this at all I
_much_ prefer the former -- I want these things to really _be_ of type 
ID, not some partial simulacrum thereof.
