Yeah, WSDL 2.0 does something similar defining a fragment notation (in 
section C.2).  I'm sure the draft will get mentioned on the wsdl public 
comment list.  I think I've already commented publically enough for them. :)

I don't know about RDF, but I don't think DSIG does it this way.  They 
make it easy, basing all identifiers within their namespace (which ends 
with a "#" :).  Can you point to what you mean for dsig?

Well, there's a reason why it's a draft. :)  We appreciate the feedback.
And, thanks for the good words.  It'd be nice to do this all the same 
way.  WS-Addressing could also leverage this, depending on what we 
decide to do with some WSDL issues.
