And the second of those bugs clearly needs a comment from you clearing
up some of the misinformation (DTD validity vs 'XML does not allow')
similar to your comments in the first bug.
OK so the issues there are
a) Mozilla code currently assumes that attributes of type ID cannot have
a namespace
b) performance concerns for scripting ('DHTML') and CSS selector
processing .
The second of those seems to mean that the code is performance optimised
so revisions need to be carefully looked at, rather than any inherent
performance issue in xml:id itself.
