'id' attributes in schema documents must be valid IDs per XML 1.0,
which does indeed mean that numbers are not allowed. I recommend
prefixing your ID values with a letter -- if that's not acceptable,
move them to your own namespace and call them something else,
e.g. 'my:docid' -- since annotation with non-schema-namespace
attributes is always allowed, this will not cause an error.
