At the present time (late 2002), XPointer is divided among four specifications: a " Framework " which forms the basis for identifying XML fragments, a positional element addressing scheme, a scheme for Namespaces , and a scheme for XPath -based addressing. The XPointer language is designed to address structural aspects of XML, including text content and other information objects created as a result of Parsing the document. Thus, it could be used to point to a section of a document highlighted by a user through a mouse drag action. XPointer is encumbered by a technology Patent held by Sun Microsystems . POSITIONAL ELEMENT ADDRESSING The element() scheme introduces positional addressing of child elements. This is similar to a simple XPath address, but subsequent steps can only be numbers representing the position of a descendant relative to its branch on the tree. For instance, given the following fragment: the XPointer to bom would be: element(foo/2/1) SEE ALSO
