Point 2 is: 2) frequent use of characters that are explicitly disallowed in the URI syntax and thus must be escaped; I've recently encountered this myself. However, to a large extent this comes about from the dependence on XPath which uses [] for predicates, < and > for comparisons, and so forth. I don't think this could be fixed without losing XPath. Maybe XPath isn't such a good fit for XPointer after all. -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@m... | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | XML in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition (O'Reilly, 2002) | | http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian2/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0596002920/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://www.cafeaulait.org/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://www.cafeconleche.org/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
