Greetings, we have a little problem with ID, we need to identify the IDs
in an XML Document but not always we got a DTD or a Schema to work with,
I include the original question of a friend of mine (little more
technical and platform dependent) 
					Thanks

Subject: Xerces-J

Hi,
I have a problem with xml Document retrieve function using Xerces-J 
dom package. After parsing without validating, i must to retrieve an
element with a specific attribute(of type ID) value. It don't seems a
good idea to traverse all attributes list of each element in document
object to retrieve the element. Is exists an other way in DOM? Maybe in
Sax model?
