In response to my post about linking into documents, and the lack of an implementation of XPointer, Aaron Boodman has built an IE plugin to implement it: RI(bf)WoTP#436.

I tried it, and sure enough, it works, at least on the sample URLs he presents. I tried other experiments with it, and wasn’t able to get the results I wanted. I don’t where the deficiency lies, in the technology, or my understanding of it.
