RE: ODF 1.2 RDF Metadata, xml:id, and ID deprecation - PROBLEM

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <dennis.hamilton@acm.org>]

Michael, that is wonderful news.

Then we need to ditch the strange language about matching up anim:id with any xml:id or anything else like that, since the anim:id is not of type ID and all we have to do is say its use is deprecated.  (We need to deprecate the places that refer to deprecated *:id attributes also, replacing any IDREFs with NCNames too, so a little care is still required.)

I will look more closely at all of this later this week.

 - Dennis 

PS: We have no need for the XHTML remedy around the HTML name attribute because we don't have the HTML problem that needed to be solved.  I'll get back on this.

This is correct, and this is exactly the reason why my proposal also 
changed the type of anim:id, etc. from ID to NCNAME. See

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/proposal%3Axml-id

It states:

"The datatype of the following attributes will be changed to NCName:

anim:id (all occurrences)

draw:id, where listed above

text:id, where listed above

form:id (all occurrences)"

[This, by the way, is a better way to deprecate those ID-valued attributes from ODF 1.1 so that they don't clash with use of xml:id -- change them to have values of type NCName rather than ID in a way that ODF 1.1 usage remains upward compatible but there is no collision with an xml:id on the same element.]  An example of such language is in [XHTML 1.0] section C8:

I think this is exactly what we did. Or what did I oversee?
