Re: [docbook-apps] should xml:id be inside TITLE or SECT1?

[Camille Bégnis <camille@neodoc.biz>]

Hi,

semantically speaking, I guess that when you want to reference an item,
you mean to point to the section, and not the title of it. Because if
you use

<title xml:id="wifi">Wi Fi Networking</title>

you tell the processors that the ID applies only to the title, not the
section. And actually the way xref elements are processed expects that
the ID is on the structural element (chapter, section, figure, etc.).
So the correct syntax is

<sect1 xml:id="wifi">

just test :-)
