No, I originally might have thought that on a separate thread, but now agree with you about the expected behavior, especially since it is specified in the replace algorithm. I just feel, currently, that the current name, while descriptive, is awkward.

And just to be explicit, I assume we all agree to replace setReplaceId() with an attribute.
