Hardly beyond the state of the art. I've suggested in
http://www.rddl.org/fragment-syntax that support for XPointer schemes might
be indicated in a RDDL document (one which might be dereferenced from the
XPointer scheme namespace for example) e.g.
<div id="xpointer">
<rddl:resource
xlink:arcrole="http://www.rddl.org/fragment-syntax#scheme"
xlink:href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr"
/>
</div>
Now it should be straightfoward to add pointers to various language
implementations of XPointer scheme dereferencing mechanisms via something
like:
<div id="custom-scheme">
<rddl:resource
xlink:arcrole="http://www.rddl.org/fragment-syntax#scheme"
xlink:href="http//example.org/custom-scheme-description"
/>
<rddl:resource
xlink:arcrole="http://www.rddl.org/fragment-syntax#scheme-implementation"
xlink:role="http://www.rddl.org/natures/software#java"
xlink:href="http//example.org/custom-scheme.jar"
/>
</div>
or whatever, this could be done in a variety of ways.
