But anyway, I thought I read that pointing is still in

 That's what I thought as well.

Pointing is out.  The reason being that, as seen in Wii Sports Resort's archery, MotionPlus is capable of aiming much more accurately than the pointer without even using the IR.

Found the info I was looking for.

A few days back, we had a second-hand translation of Miyamoto's comments on Zelda Wii, but now we have the official translation put together by Nintendo.

And on a more tangible note, we are utilizing Wii MotionPlus. What has been disclosed so far is that we are finding the most efficient way to utilize Wii MotionPlus to realize the realistic and actual feeling of fighting with the sword. As for targeting, we are utilizing the pointing system of Wii Remote on the previous title. This time we are planning a more convenient and comfortable pointing system. - Shigeru Miyamoto

So it sounds like the same pointing system is being used, but it's being tweaked this time around to make it a bit easier to use. I'm not sure how you get easier than point-and-shoot, but I'm game to find out!

This was from last week.

You just proved my point.

"As for targeting, we are utilizing the pointing system of Wii Remote on the previous title."

"This time we are planning a more convenient and comfortable pointing system."  Meaning using the MotionPlus, not the IR.  I suppose you could still call it 'pointing', but not in the way people are assuming.
