This is only the case if the id attribute is of type ID. Since (most) of the
polyglot valid doctype usage would not point to a resolvable DTD at all I think
that it would make sense to assume all attributes are CDATA for the purposes of
this document, and also, if ever a dtd for html5 were to be produced that tried
to approximate the polyglot rules it should define id to be CDATA. However I
don't think that the polyglot spec should depend on dtd at all since there is
unlikely to be a normative html dtd.
So I don't think that this spec need say anything about id attributes other
than the general comments about attributes (white space and other character
normalization/quoting issues)
