XSC:id is for element constraint declarations, no? Are you reading a
different spec than the one I am reading?

Anyhow: when I first started using SGML, it really bothered me that
attribute constraint declarations were not buried in element type
declarations. But now I think that it is better to strictly separate them.
It should be possible to attach attributes to any list of elements
(including ALL). I think that SGML and XML had it right, and we should go
back to that way of doing it.

If we want to allow nesting of attribute constraint declarations in
element constraint declarations, it should be a short-hand for the
expanded version.
