My understanding from Dan was that the cat's already out of the bag; SVG

Not quite yet, but as Chris says, probably will.
On the other hand, I'm not sure that the problem is quite as drastic as it
seems. Any XML application can point into an SVG, SMIL, or XHTML document
using XPointer. It's just that SVG, SMIL, and XHTML applications may not
let those documents point _out_ using XPointer.
Right. I think that the +xml idiom is useful even if it doesn't guarantee
that such documents are going use XLink/XPointer for outgoing links.
Hmm, it also seems that anything that's of type *+xml has, per definition,
internal structures which can be addressed by xpointer whether the
media-type designers foresaw that or not. -Tim
