The abstract states, This document defines the meaning of the attribute xml:id as a universal spelling for ID attributes in XML documents and defines processing of this attribute to identify IDs in the absence of validation, without fetching external resources, and without relying on an internal subset. To me the word "universal" implies that all ID attributes have this spelling; i.e. it's no longer acceptable to have id in XHTML, and so forth. I'm sure this wasn't the intent, and the sentence could be read otherwise. Nonetheless I suggest rewriting that sentence along these lines: This document defines the meaning of the attribute xml:id as an ID attribute in XML documents and defines processing of this attribute to identify IDs in the absence of validation, without fetching external resources, and without relying on an internal subset. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
