By importing a schema that declares this attribute.
This is what I am doing in my code list validation work:
===========8<------------
Vocabulary schema:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:schema:CodeList-Constraints-0.7"
targetNamespace="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:schema:CodeList-Constraints-0.7">
<!-- xml:id per http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/REC-xml-id-20050909/ -->
<xsd:import schemaLocation="xmlid.xsd"
namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"/>
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation xml:lang="en">
A document model of the association of document contexts with the
URIs of expressions of enumerations of coded values.
...
<!--a given code list with a unique identifier for reference in contexts-->
<xsd:element name="CodeList">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:attribute ref="xml:id"/>
<xsd:attribute name="uri" type="xsd:anyURI"/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
===========8<------------
xmlid.xsd schema:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!--

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace">
<xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:ID"/>
</xs:schema>

I hope this helps.
