I fail to see how this matters for SVG, (X)HTML, MathML, or XBL content for that matter as these markup languages all include an id="" attribute that behaves in the same way. User agents processing those languages need to be aware of way more than the IDness of the id="" attribute. Now for Web browsers it would have made things better if the id="" attribute were made a global attribute in XML as opposed to xml:id (considering the primary authoring language uses that and all), but it seems unlikely that this error will be fixed with xml:id in place. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
