Our xmlIDSemantics-32 is closed; xml:id is a REC and all... but in the TagSoupIntegration context, people are arguing that it's actually cheaper for the community as a whole for W3C to just centralize these decisions, and as much as I find it unappealing, I'm not sure it's wrong: [[ (This is exactly where xml:id went wrong. The practical approach would have been declaring that the attribute id is always and ID and if someone out there had a non-Web problem with that, it would have been a non-Web problem. Now the fallout from xml:id is seen in Web specs and implementations.) ]] -- Henri Sivonen 19 Oct 2007 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Oct/0256.html for reference: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/xmlIDsemantics-32.html under the option 5.1 Steal the string "id" -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ gpg D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
