Hi everyone,

I'm currently updating my website. In a previous incarnation, I had
some content with a navigation frame: the displayed page was e.g.
"frames.htm", which loaded an html doc "righthandpage.htm" on the
right, with a page called "nav.htm"consisting a table of links of the
form "righthandpage.htm#section" in the narrower left-hand frame.

Now I've changed righthandpage.htm to xml, and of course my navigation
links don't work.

Can I use xpointer syntax in nav.htm to fix the broken links?
Do I have to rewrite nav.htm as nav.xml in order to get xpointer to
work, or will (new browsers of) html be able to cope?
Does righthandpage.xml really need a DTD or schema for the links to
work?
(I'm looking for the simplest possible solution to each problem as I
gradually update my website one step at a time.)

Many thanks and best wishes,

T.
