XML itself is cast into some serious stone, it's like trying moving a 50 tons rock with bare hands, you would need a very very big lever. There is both historical and practical reason that changing the value space for IDs sounds like an impossible task honnestly. It's like changing the kind of primary keys allowed in SQL databases this would require huge changes from specs, to implementations, to client code.
