We would at least need a test case for this, following the rules of xml:id
vs. its:idValue which can be testet here
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#EX-idvalue-attribute-1
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/examples/xml/EX-idvalue-attribute-1.xml

Any volunteer to create the test case for language information?

Leroy or Dave / Dom, can you add
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/examples/xml/EX-idvalue-attribute-1.xml
to the test suite?
Side note:
http://phaedrus.scss.tcd.ie/its2.0/inputdata/idvalue/html/idvalue1Html.html
is borken, it seems.
