HTML 4.01 does not allow <html> to have an id attribute, neither do XHTML 1.0 First Edition or XHTML Modularization (the latter allows at most dir, lang, xmlns, xml:lang and version). XHTML 1.1 is based on XHTML Modularization and thus disallows <html id='...' ...> XHTML 1.0 *Second Edition* had been changed in this respect and allows the html element to have an id attribute. Take a look at the html element in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2003Mar/att-0105/table.html
