Section 4 looks much better.

There might be some doubt about this:

  The attribute's value is normalized according to the rules for
  attribute-value normalization on attributes of type ID.

Processors (like Norm's) that operate on an already-parsed document
will get xml:id attribute values that have already been normalized
according to the numbered list in section 3.3.3 of the XML spec.  They
only need to perform the additional normalization approriate to
tokenized attributes.  In particular, they mustn't do anything to
non-#x20 whitespace or apparent character or entity references.
