Description Sandy Gao 2005-09-08 03:14:01 UTC 
When an element is nillable and has a type that is or is derived from ID, IDREF 
or IDREFS, section 3.15.5 of the spec is not clear about what happens to the 
ID/IDREF Table: whether such element is ignored, or its actual value should be 
take into account (which doesn't seem to be possible).
Comment 1 Sandy Gao 2006-11-22 04:00:59 UTC 
Proposal: when xsi:nil is true on an element, then it's not added to the ID/IDREF Table.

Resolution: adopted at 2006-11-17 telecon.
