Right, but Marcus's point is that there are no (0) XML documents written to 
a DTD before xml:space existed.

There are valid XML documents written without xml:id.

It would be good for non-DTD-reading systems to know about IDs in those 
documents.

Adding xml:id will invalidate those documents.

Re-writing the DTDs is not workable.

Inserting an internal subset or adding PIs to the instances is.
