Done.

There isn’t a file mapping attribute names to spec location.  There’s
master/elements.txt and master/properties.txt for element and property
definition links.  Someone could make one for the attributes, but this’d
need to map (element, attribute) pairs to spec location (possibly with a
wildcard for the element, to handle common attributes).

I wonder if the way id/xml:id is defined in the schema is related to
ISSUE-2009?  Anyway, I’ve special cased id in the table generation
script so it comes out as one line.
