E.g. <?xml version="1.1" ...> no xml:id <?xml version="1.2" ...> xml:id What has changed is XML, not the XML namespace, thus the specification of the version of XML should change; allowing applications to be clear about whether xml:id should be intepreted per the official specification (i.e. v1.2 or later) or in a proprietary manner, or ignored entirely (i.e. v1.1 or earlier).
