It satisfies me, because it means the spec is well-defined, is testable, and is unambiguously implementable. It leaves open the issue of which spec actually makes things work; as the spec now explicitly states: # Application-level processing of IDs, including which elements can # actually be addressed by which ID values, is beyond the scope of this # specification. -- http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-id/#terminology This basically means xml:id can't be addressed by anything until a spec goes ahead and says that xml:id attributes assign an ID to an element. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. Things that are impossible just take longer. `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
