Hi all,

In working on the registration of application/xhtml+xml, one of the
issues was how to best handle a possible transition to XPointer.

During that thought experiment, it occurred to me that we should
be watching +xml registrations to ensure that, where possible,
"#foo" syntax is reserved for identifying fragments labelled with
an ID (or http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#id) type attribute of
value "foo".

Yes.

And other schems for example #xpty(foo) or #xpath(foo) or #bar(foo)
would be clearly distinguishable.


This would ensure that XPointer could be be retrofitted into
3023 later and apply to all */xml and */*+xml types.

Yes.
