Oh yes it did. It's a recommendation.

This requires support for the element XPointer scheme. But you need to
get the syntax right.

The element scheme takes a series of numeric indices. It looks to me
like you are supplying a shorthand pointer, in which case you don't
want to use the element scheme.

Check the XPointer recommendations.
