One of Fielding's criticisms seems ill-judged:
4) focuses on mechanical identification of XML elements (fragile
and media-type-specific) rather than the content (section heading,
paragraph number, paragraph text, etc.).
since XPointer is meant to be used on documents that don't necessarily have
sections and paragraphs.
