The last 2 assume that we assign special meaning to the literal
"soapBody", right?  Otherwise we'd have to require an ID attribute on
the element to be referenced.  cid: really doesn't seem appropriate
for these cases.  Wouldn't a fragment with XPath automatically assume
the correct base URI (the current document)?

  #/Envelope/Body
  #/Envelope/Body/Invoice[0]

Or something like that?
