Not missed. Just disagree that that is a good thing.
I would probably be against xml:id in anycase but the argument against 
it would be weakened if the datamodel were extended to support ID 
typing. Allowing syntax that was added to xml _specifically_ to support 
ID typing, but not to provide the same typing mechanism is just leading 
to confusion.
