I am investigating implementing XPointer in the existing XInclude feature, and have found org.apache.xerces.impl.xpath.XPath and org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.identify.XPathMatcher.
Before I launch into major code development, I'd appreciate any thought about how (or whether) these class can be extend to provide XPath for XPointer. I guess my major question is how to extend XPath to add the additional functions that XPointer provides.
You probably want to hang tight for a couple of weeks. The W3C working group is preparing a major new working draft of XInclude which will substantially revise how XPointers are handled. If I were you I'd want to see this before beginning a lot of work I might have to throw out.
