Pushback on the CR, though limited, was strong enough to induce a
rethink of the interoperability problem.  I don't expect a big
change in future, although of course it's still possible.

The reason to split the XPointer from the URI was to work around
the fact that there is still no definition of what a fragment id
on an XML document means.
