Are you talking about the XPointer email? I dont understand how that
helps us here. Our problem is that if a section does not have a unique
id then Scrollkeeper and gnome-db2html[2|3] can jump there only if they
generate an id to this section which is the same in both Scrollkeeper
and the convertor. I am not sure how could XPointer help us in this
case. I think the examples you gave described how to identify one or
more subparts of the xml doc. But as far as I understand we still need
something to uniquely identify the subpart we are going for to use the
XPointer mechanism and we dont have uniqueness assured. Unless I
misunderstand something badly which is possible as I didnt spend a huge
amount of time with XPointer yet.
