Paul and Daniel,

I am very impressed by your timely and thoughtful reply!  

My question arose from discussions around the ODF schema.  
When ODF 1.2 introduces xml:id, can we create a RNG schema, 
which is consistent with the xml:id recommendation and 
the RNG DTD compatibility specification?

I am happy with Daniel's reply and believe that the use of 
xsd:NCName in RELAX NG schemas for xml:id is fine.  However, 
it is probably a good idea to publish errata to xml:id and make 
things clearer.  Let me suggest a note in D.3.

  Note: Since RELAX NG validation does not change the infoset, 
  the use of other datatypes does not cause any problems to xml:id 
  processing.

Cheers,
