<abstract>
<p>This specification defines the XML Pointer Language (XPointer), the language
to be used as the basis for a fragment identifier for any URI reference that
locates a resource whose Internet media type is &media-types;.</p>
</abstract>
<status>
 <p><kw>This document has been superceded.</kw></p>
 <p>The design described in previous versions of this document has been
factored into a basic framework (<loc href="/TR/xptr-framework/">&trpath;xptr-framework/</loc>) which defines XPointer schemes and simple <quote>barename</quote> fragment identifiers, and three additional schemes: <loc href="/TR/xptr-element/">&trpath;xptr-element/</loc>, for addressing elements by their position in the document tree,
<loc href="/TR/xptr-xmlns/">&trpath;xptr-xmlns/</loc>, for binding namespace
prefixes to namespace name and
<loc href="/TR/xptr-xpointer/">&trpath;xptr-xpointer/</loc>, for full
XPath-based addressing.</p>


 <p>For information about the requirements that informed development of 
this specification,
see <loc href="/TR/NOTE-xptr-req">http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-xptr-req</loc>.</p>
