The XPointer integration distributions support shorthand pointers. In addition, they bundle support for at last the following XPointer schemes:
-- xmlns()
-- element()
-- xpath() - This is not a W3C defined XPointer scheme since W3C has not published an XPointer sheme for XPath. The namespace URI for this scheme is http://www.cogweb.org/xml/namespace/xpointer . It provides for addressing XML subresources using a XPath 1.0 expressions.
