Yes. The goal is to more closely describe the process of ID assignment, clearly separate it from validation, and provide more interop between ID assignment resulting from DTD use and ID assignment resulting from schemas. It then ads a third way, reserved attribute, which has a very small and highly focused validation component. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Member, W3C Technical Architecture Group
