The usual way would be to use a fragment identifier, so that the client can
find the right element, e.g. http://example.com/foo.xml#id45 means
downloading foo.xml and looking for the element with an id="id45" attribute.
But the fragment identifier isn't sent to the HTTP server, so you couldn't
do a DEL or PUT to replace just that fragment; I don't know if that's what
you want.

Someone's already pointed you to Dave Kuhlman's article on REST and Quixote,
which is a good start.
