I guess (1) also would require URL encoding, isn't it? But I also like this first XPointer-like syntax better. > > Any suggestion? Should we run a vote on it?

If I won't hear any objections, I will change code to use "#" :) Another question: Is it possible to use XPath query on single resource, not collection? I did not found a way yet...
