I wasn't sure, but it's easy to change the text, of course. I would vote for either id or ID but not Id (or iD ;-)

I don't think anything was decided on that. I'd personally be ok with merging them, but some implementations may want the freedom to
use numbers for AssertionID which would be invalid as XML IDs.
