In related news - The XML Core Working Group has released the First Public Working Draft of xml:id Version 1.0.
The specification introduces a predefined attribute name that can always be treated as an ID and hence can always be recognized.What can be said? At last! Finally!
xml:id Version 1.0 defines core predefined attribute xml:id you can use anywhere in XML documents (with or without DTD or schemas attached) to annotate elements with unique identifiers. Great stuff. I'm going to investigate possibilities of creating experimental implementation of xml:id for .NET. Mark wrote about it recently.
