Notably, canonicalization. In http://www.w3.org/mid/16178.32403.534822.783054@lanalana.inria.fr Bert Bos proposed "xmlid" which is indeed reasonable as all attribute names starting with "xml" are reserved. The Working Group unfortunately refused to formally address comments on the requirements document. There were other important requests aswell, e.g., Gustaf Liljegren in http://www.w3.org/mid/3.0.6.32.20030811231834.00b23128@pop.bredband.net arguing for numeric id values which are popular xml:id values indeed, http://www.nntp.perl.org/rss/perl.i18n.rdf uses them for example. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
