Re: [docbook-apps] What XML parser for xpointer?

[George Cristian Bina <george@oxygenxml.com>]

Xerces also has some support for XPointer, for details you can see
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-xinclude.html#faq-8

Referencing by IDs works in Xerces if you have a DTD or an XML Schema 
associated with the file.
In oXygen we patched Xerces to add also support for handling xml:id as 
ID even without a DTD or XML Schema - that covers using DocBook 5 with 
the Relax NG schema as in that case there is no DTD or XML Schema to 
annotate the xml:id as an ID type.
That patch is recorded here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1113

Best Regards,
George
