XPointer Registry Launched

W3C is pleased to announce the XPointer Registry, opening XPointer scheme registration up to the public. XPointer is an extensible system for identifying regions in XML documents. XPointer provides for multiple addressing schemes but the XPointer specification reserved unprefixed scheme names to W3C. The registry adds public access and enables open and well-regulated use through the XPointer Scheme Name Registry Policy. Visit the XML home page.
