Re:  is an xml:id attribute a "DTD-determined ID"?
I dont know about Xerces support or XPointer ...
But this link describes whats *supposed* to happen fairly well .. .I had just stumbled on this the other day ..

http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-id/

It talks about using internal or external DTD's to mark the magic xml:id

<!ATTLIST someElement
    xml:id     ID          #IMPLIED

>

And appears to work even though DTD's are not namespace aware.,

On the one hand, I don't see how xml:id can work, since that's in a 
namespace and DTD's don't understand namespaces. On the other hand, I 
could see how someone might modify their processors to understand it since 
it's (a) in the core namespace; and (b) everyone handles namespaces these 
days.

So I'd consider this a fairly reasonable enhancement request.
