Or how about this: ”The lang attribute in the > XML namespace may be used on HTML elements in XML documents”? You're missing the point. There is support for xml:lang because there is a lot of content out there that uses it. It *had* to be given meaning. That case does not apply to xml:id, so trying to reuse the same reasoning does not work. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
