If you mean: Is it worth going down the road of requiring getElementById to support arbitrary characters in ids? Perhaps not. Depends on what is implemented. If you mean: Is it worth going down the road of requiring getElementById to consider idness based on factors other that the ID type in a DTD? Definitely yes. Browsers don't process DTDs and the W3C already allows the DOM impl to use info other than the DTD to figure out which attributes count as ids. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
