Lightbulb XML technology enabled browsers etc.

View source of the following page:

W3C Technical Reports and Publications

Then you will see that it is XHTML 1.0 Strict markup and if you search for id="xptr" you find the following markup:

<a href="2002/WD-xptr-20020816/" id="xptr" name="xptr">XML Pointer Language (XPointer)</a>

so the id="xptr" is defined. That implies that you can write the following in your browser:

W3C Technical Reports and Publications (http : // www . org /TR/#xptr)

and you are taken to the link XML Pointer Language (XPointer) in FF and Opera.

If you had an XPointer enabled browser, you should, since the document is XML be able to write W3C Technical Reports and Publications (http : // www . org /TR/#xpointer(id('xptr')) in the browser an achieve the same.

As of October 25. 2007, that is not possible in either FF, IE or Opera.

Questions:
  1. If you have another browser, I wonder whether that is possible in that browser?
  2. The XML Linking Working Group has completed its work and is no longer active. Does that imply that the standard is stable for XPath and XLink? XPointer is known to be complex, and may be outdated? See next point.
  3. XPointer has been split into a framework for specifying location schemes, and three schemes: element(), xmlns() and xpointer(). The framework and the first two schemes form the XPointer Recommendation, and provide a minimal inventory of mechanisms. ..... The xpointer() scheme, which is based on the XML Path Language (XPath), is still under development (my bolding).
