</font></blockquote></div>Was it advertized? I follow Firefox closely enough, but I don't remember when XPointer was supported. Was it supported by other browsers? It would be rare in the wild if it's only supported by Firefox. Do other browsers have easy scripting support for XPath? Except for the cross-domain iframe case, you could script support for XPointer if the browser has decent support for XPath in Javascript. I know I've had instances where I wished for XPointer support. It may or may not have had a fair shake.<br>
