Sec. 5.2.1 of the XPath spec says that an element may have a unique identifier (ID), which is the value of the attribute that is declared in the DTD as type `ID'. That implies that a document using IDs must have a corresponding DTD. However, namespaces are tightly integrated into XPath also, and it seems to be almost impossible in any practical sense to compose a DTD for a document that derives its names from multiple namespaces. That seems to be the gist of a lot of discussion in xmldev not long ago. So how is this conflict being resolved in the real world?
