If element <x> is a simple link and 'inline' attribute is 'true', you can
point element <y> by specifying like following:
<x href="#origin()">
<y></y>
</x>
For more detail,
<x xml:link='simple inline='true' href='#origin()'>
<y></y>
</x>
But this representation is no meaning because inline resource is also
the same element <y>.
And, as shown above my example, before specifying XPointer, you must write
a connector(# or |). Unless, that string is recognized as a URI. See XLink
draft '2. Locator Syntax'.
