There is currently no WG maintaining the Core DOM where this would go, but it is hoped that that situation will change soon. Yes this is an issue that could affect other specifications, in fact all those that have an interface with an 'id' field that points to the ID of a given element. I have been considering sending feedback to the DOM IG on this topic. > Note that with DOM3 you can basically make any attribute of type ID. > (Does it interact with that?) Yes it does, if an element has multiple ID attributes and its language-specific interface has a field exposing its ID, its relationship to IDness needs to be clarified. -- Robin Berjon Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/
