[tei-council] Budget and Cost Saving for next year

[Martin Holmes]

I'm rather unwilling to contemplate the loss of xpointer. I found this 
suggestion that it's possible to implement xpointer handling in XSLT:

<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2878239&group_id=29872&atid=776728>

However, the library has disappeared from the location mentioned. The 
Wikipedia page links to two implementations, one Java:

<http://sourceforge.net/projects/cweb/>

and a .NET implementation:

<http://mvp-xml.sourceforge.net/xinclude/>

Cheers,
Martin
