Comment on WSS Core 1.1

Given that xml:id is at Proposed Recommendation status [1] and likely to
be a W3C Recommendation close following the end of the public review
period for WSS 1.1, I propose we explicitly list xml:id in the core
document in Section 4, "ID References".

Although this section does not preclude the use of xml:id, to avoid
ambiguity it would be preferable to add xml:id to the list explicitly.

The specific proposal is to add "xml:id" as a bullet point after line
499 in the public review draft (on a new line between lines 499 and 500
in the latest WSS editorial draft [3]) and to add a reference to the W3C
recommendation.

We may decide to delay standardization for a few weeks to allow xml:id
to advance to Recommendation status.
