XPointer Is a W3C Recommendation

The World Wide Web Consortium today released XPointer as a three-part W3C Recommendation. The XPointer Framework is an extensible system for identifying regions in XML documents which provides for multiple addressing schemes. The element() scheme allows basic addressing of XML elements in terms of a document's tree structure. The xmlns() scheme is used to interpret namespace prefixes in scheme names and pointers.
