I can't imagine people writing that either. But I can imagine programs
writing it. Consider a program that outputs an ITS-annotated XML/HTML
file based on machine-generated info and/or user input in some UI. If
it needs to present info for an attribute value, the only way it can
do it is by ensuring the parent element has a unique identifier and
writing writing rules like this.
