Apparently, my announcement of HyBrick 0.8 on this list - and several
others - has been completely overlooked by yourself and the other people
holding this discussion. HyBrick 0.8 is a working implementation of
XLink/XPointer available *now*. You can download the English-language menu
version from our site at FSC: http://collie.fujitsu.com/HyBrick/.
Japanese-language readers should go to
