It seems that your motivation is solely based on making it possible to
use xpointer in XInclude for HTML content. Then I think right approach
is to define that when XInclude is evaluated on text/html content, then
id attribute is considered of ID type and you are done. There is no need
to clutter HTML5 with xml:id attribute.
