Hello Michael,

Thank you for the reply.
In my case, i wanted to use xpointer mainly in the context of xinclude.
I do not well understand the reasons why only a part of xpointer has been 
implemented (only the scheme element (e.g.: xpointer="element(/1/1/1)")). 
For instance, I think it is a pity not to have implemented the scheme 
based on Xpath which  seems to be more usefull and powerfull
Was it considered not usefull ? Are there are other similar mechanisms 
allowing to link fragments of xml files ?

Thanks
Philippe

Hello Philippe,

The XPointer support in Xerces-J is limited to what is required for 
XInclude and is only usable within the context of XInclude.

There no plans to enhance it further.

Thanks.
