Fix example. Hopefully correctly this time.

Also note limitations of the hrefPointer system.

+                    This design never has more than three ids in the URI.  Nodes
+                    along the path between the root and the immediate parent,
+                    if any, are omitted.  This illustrates a limitation of JSON Schema:

+                    not possible without redesigning the representation to make an

                     We get the following self links for each node in the instance as identifed
                     by JSON Pointers:
                     <list style="hanging">
                         <t hangText='"" (the root node)'>/trees/0/0</t>

                     </list>
                     This shows the use of an absolute JSON Pointer to always resolve
                     the root node from any depth, and a Relative JSON Pointer to always resolve
                     the immediate parent, which cannot be identified with an absolute pointer.

                     For the root node, there is no defined parent, so per URI Template resolution
                     rules, that variable and the path component that it would produce are simply
                     omitted, giving us the desired URI with two components after "/trees".
