Core Attributes, id and xml:id

Hello public-tt,

http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-ttaf1-dfxp-20060427/

lists the Core Attributes as id, xml:lang, xml:space

Given the difficulty of determining that an id is of type ID in the absence of a DTD or Schema, and given that external DTD subsets are optional in XML 1.0 and 1.1, and given that xml:id is intended precisely to provide an unambiguous ID attribute, could you please explain why the Core Attributes are not

xml:id, xml:lang, xml:space ?

xml:id Version 1.0
W3C Recommendation 9 September 2005
