Thanks for the reply, Tim. >Yes, that's a plausible scenario in which a defaulted ID attribute >might be useful. Sorry... XML rules it out. As I understood (but hoped otherwise -- or at least hoped that there'd be some trick to accomplish the same goal, without having to create app-specific attributes like Sref to do it). >As for my having defaulted the "target" attribute in the annotated >spec, the "target" is the *same* on every annotation, that's why >it's defaulted. Nothing could be more different from an ID attribute. Yeah, but.... In an element tree in which many elements at the top layer must be one-of-a-kind, the target would be the same for every cross-reference, too. So why not default it (or so I thought) with a fixed ID value? I hesitate to call this an idee fixe. Probably should have hesitated a bit longer. Thanks again.
