The problem is the strictness of XML is such that we're kind of stuck. We can't do what we want yet, and if we decide to continue defining our own ID, we can't change it later without making an incompatible change. It becomes a SAML 3.0 step to move to xml:id. The real complaint I have is that this is self-inflicted. The proper way to locate an element based on an ID is not by relying on the name of the attribute. That's a serious mistake in XML processing. There are ways now to establish ID-ness without relying on validation, so whatever argument was made as to why this was needed is a mystery to me. -- Scott
