[lxml-dev] Using the Xpath id function

Just to clarify: lxml *does* validate (if told so), both against a W3C 
XMLSchema

and a RelaxNG schema.

So from my point of view, using a schema rather than a DTD nowadays is 
usually 

the right choice, if only because the schema is itself well-formed XML - if 
possible.

 How this relates to the XPath id() function and the concept of the ID 
attribute in

general I don't really know, from what I've looked up in the spec this 
concept

seems somehow tied to DTDs (?)
