This does not really answer Dan's question, or what I understood the
question to be. From

  http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-CSS21-20040225/selector.html#id-selectors
  http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/CR-xml-id-20050208/

could you please state whether adding text like

  If an implementation supports CSS 2.1 and also supports
  xml:id, then the xml:id attribute must be treated as an
  ID for the purposes of CSS selector processing.

to CSS 2.1 would in some way change conformance requirements for
implementations that support CSS 2.1 and also support xml:id? If
it does, could you please clarify why and why xml:id does not
contain a conformance requirement to this effect already?
