XPath is most commonly used in XSLT, which was described in Chapter 9. The XPath notion of a node is too restrictive for some purposes, and in Chapter 12 we will examine the XML Pointer Language, XPointer, which extends the XPath concept of a node to include the notions of point and range. XPointer therefore allows more flexibility in how we address fragments of an XML document.
