We already have a non-XML syntax for XPointers and I don't think anyone
would want to argue for an XML version of an XPointer.

My feeling on the issue is that a spec be developed for tree addressing
patterns that serves the needs of both XPointers and XSL patterns. Such a
spec could stand apart (but be normative to) both XLink and XSL.
