FYI: XPointer implementation ready

A quick FYI:

There's an XPointer implementation in kdenonbeta/kdom/xpointer. It implements 
everything except for the xpointer() scheme. However, it's quite common to 
not have that scheme implemented, or to have incomplete support. Implementing 
it requires an XPath 1.0 implementation; anyone is welcome to take a shot.

A 3rd party scheme is xpath1(), allowing selections to be expressed in XPath 
1.0. The scheme is non-comformant to a W3C recommendation; Mozilla implements 
it. I likely will implement it when an XPath implementation exists. If anyone 
has opinions in this matter, they are welcome.

The XPointer implementation is currently used in the XInclude implementation.


Cheers,
