fragmentInXML-28

Use of fragment identifiers in XML

State:

OPEN

Product:

Raised by:

Tim Berners-Lee

Opened on:

2002-10-31

Description:

Do fragment identifiers refer to a syntactice element (at least for XML content), or can they refer to abstractions?

Example from
17.2.2 SVG fragment identifiers :

MyDrawing.svg#svgView(viewBox(0,200,1000,1000));

The SVG spec states "This form of addressing specifies the desired view of the document (e.g., the region of the document to view, the initial zoom level) completely within the SVG fragment specification."

From Dan Connolly:
Do you consider the quoted paragraph above in error?

Or do you disagree with my interpretation of it, i.e. that MyDrawing.svg#svgView(viewBox(0,200,1000,1000)) identifes a view of the drawing, and not any particular XML element (nor other syntactic structure) in the document.
