Here is a simple use-case that I wanted to use this evening: linking to the 24th paragraph tag of the 23rd blockquote tag of an HTML document on the Web:

http://garote.bdmonkeys.net/commandline/index.html#xpointer(/blockquote[23]/p[24])

I wasn't interested in using this from JavaScript, I was quoting a particular passage of an essay and wanted to link to it. Since the author of the original HTML did not include ID attributes on the p tags, I don't have any way to link to the passage with traditional the HTML URL fragment identifier. I wish I could add some simple XPath/XPointer to URLs on (well-formed) HTML documents.
