RE: Grand Unification Theory (XSL/XPointer)

Hi Nantapon,

<Comment>
Given XSL Pattern "element1//element2", I wondered how I could index it.
If I used "element1//element2(1)", It would not show the real position of
element2. I have reread the XPointer WD and found that // corresponds
to descendant which also use document order. So it won't be problem,
anymore. :P

So it is great idea to unify XSL Pattern and XPointer. If XSL Select
Pattern is subset of XPointer and we can describe match pattern using
select pattern, we can adopt XPointer.

thanks for the precision. You are right, if one becomes a subset of the
other, we would have a sense of unity and of good design. We could then say,
Yes, this is improvement :-)
I don't know if you know the asterix comics but without this unity, XML
would be a house designed by the architect in the asterix in Egypt comic
book :-)
