As far as I can tell, that finding concerns only XML 1.0 ID attributes[1], a document instance local identifier. Although some of the Atom examples were changed to show XML IDs for <id>, the consensus and specs to date (on and off wiki) have <id> being a URI, a global identifier. Maybe it's time to reconfirm that <id> is a URI and update the examples to match. -- Ken [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-attribute-types
