  That is sure.

  Now whether XPointer can help w.r.t. the addressability then it really
depends what need to be addressed.

  What do you mean by jump here:
    - if the here is an XML document, then I assume the document is
      handled by libxml and hence XPointer can be used
    - if the here is an HTML document, then XSLT has a 
      generate-id() function which can be used to generate a unique ID
      for this element, and pointing is also possible using the existing
      #name framework.

Did i missed something ?
