In the meantime... FOLLOWING/PRECEDING (not NEXT/PREVIOUS) refers to the elements (or pseudo-elements) that start before/after the current one (the "location source"), anywhere in a document. One way to understand this is to imagine all the start-tags strung out on a line. Go left to get the PRECEDING elements of the location source, and go right to get the FOLLOWING elements. FSIBLING/PSIBLING refers to the elements (or pseudo-elements) before/after the location source that share the *same parent* as the location source. So PSIBLING identifies a subset of all PRECEDING elements, and FSIBLING identifies a subset of all FOLLOWING elements. I gave an XML/XLL tutorial at the SGML/XML '97 conference, and have put my PowerPoint slides up on our web site. (They're in .ppt 97 form.) You can find them at <http://www.arbortext.com/xmlresrc.html> if you'd like to see the explanation I gave for how the Xpointer addressing keywords work. Eve xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
