This section "Impacts on Other Standards" is great... http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/CR-xml-id-20050208/#impact I see "Informed readers that C Impacts on Other Standards will be removed before xml:id becomes a recommendation" Hmm... well, it would be great to remove the "Impacts..." stuff because it's all taken care of, but looking at a draft implementation report... http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id-implementation.html ... I don't see, for example, a test corresponding to this ID selectors test... http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS3/Selectors/current/xhtml/tests/css3-modsel-15.xml Before removing the "Impacts..." section, please at least add a link from the implementation report to something from the CSS WG that says "yes... good question... we'll look into that." I can't tell if the intent is that the CSS specs get revised to refer to xml:ID or if CSS implementations are to independently pick up xml:ID support or what. The current spec is kinda waffly, as far as I can tell... "Document languages may contain attributes that are declared to be of type ID." is pretty waffly http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/selector.html#id-selectors I haven't looked into DOM, XPath, etc. as closely, but the concern applies. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
