xml-dev - AttValue within XPointer ?

[Patrice Bonhomme <Patrice.Bonhomme@loria.fr>]

<Hi/>

I had a look at the brand new XML XPointer specification and something is not 
clear to me.  Some of the XPointer examples are not conformant to the XML 
Language specification.

I am not sure that an attribute value can start with a digit. And some 
examples are:

child(1,#element,N,2).(1,#element,N,1)
ancestor(1,#element,N,1).(1,DIV)
etc...

I think they should be written (with the attribute value as a "SkipLit"):

child(1,#element,N,"2").(1,#element,N,"1")
ancestor(1,#element,N,"1").(1,DIV)

Could the editors of the XPtr Spec. precise the definition of the NAME 
production.

Thanks a lot.

Pat.
