SVG Tiny 1.2 uses xml:id

Hello public-xml-id,

Just wanted to let you know that the recently published SVG Tiny 1.2 in
requires xml:id support.

5.10.1 Attributes common to all elements: class, id, xml:id and xml:base
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-SVGMobile12-20050413/struct.html#Core.attrib

The old, no-namespace 'id' is still supported for backwards
compatibility (eg with SVG Tiny 1.1) but new content is encouraged to
use xml:id. SVG Full 1.2 will also have it, of course.
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-SVGMobile12-20050413/

This also means we will have a bunch of xml:id tests in the SVG test
suite shortly.

Hopefully this will help with the xml:id exit criteria and
implementation report.
