Talk:XPointer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No offense intended here to either the authors of this, or the W3C's documentation, but, Huh!? I fully understand the need for precise wording when talking about such complicated issues, and I don't necessarily advocate the dumbing-down of these topics to a 5th grade level, but surely a middle ground could be reached. A large portion of people who will be reading this page are going to be Web Developers. Dreamweaver jockeys wanting to figure out all this XML craziness. A big thing that's missing here is; What is it good for? Who needs it? First in technical terms, then in layman's terms. I only state this here on the discussion page so that I can gauge opinion on the subject before I make any changes to the current page.

  • Actually, someone with spare time and a good understanding of it should elaborate on the example, imho. This is not a 'dumbed down' article, but it does resemble a stub.
