Implementation report on xml:id

Hello ,

I have just had a look at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id-implementation.html

The report is an anecdotal list of five implementations that are claimed
to have support of xml:id. No test suite results are offered in support
of this  assertion.

I was expecting to see, besides a listing of the implementations tested,
a 5 by 12 table with passes and fails, and a warm fuzzy feeling from
seeing two or more implementations passing each test. I am, frankly,
astonished.

Turning to the test suite
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id/
there are 11 tests with zero documentation - not even a comment -
regarding what they test and how to determine a pass or fail on each
test.

If I have missed some test suite documentation, then my apologies and I
would appreciate a pointer.

I do not consider this an adequate implementation report.  Please state
which tests were passed by each implementation, and please state what
the pass or fail criteria are for each test.
