I certainly wouldn't assume that an attribute called "id" is declared as
an ID unless I have evidence that this is the case, especially if the
information about the XML comes from one of the world's very top experts.
But more importantly, I still think that seeing two duplicate IDs is not
evidence of a problem with the way the technical writers/taggers have
been trained, it is a problem with the tools they are using. The tools
should stop it happening.
