Because of the xml-stylesheet PI there is a XSLT aspect and
posting here will hopefully get an answer.

Mozilla/Firefox used to support some XPointer stuff (element() and xpath() scheme, some proprietary API, https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XML_in_Mozilla). However the current releases (Firefox 3.6) don't support it anymore. I tested with Firefox 2.0 and when I load a URL like http://localhost/file.xml#element(/1/200) where file.xml references an XSLT stylesheet that transforms file.xml into some XML result document styled with CSS then the "element(/1/200)" pointer is applied to the result i.e. the 200th child element of the root element of the result document is scrolled into view. So that is how Firefox/Mozilla used to implement it, I have no idea whether the specs suggest or demand that.
