OK, it looks as though the "writing_scrollkeeper_omf_files.xml in
ScrollKeeper cvs is more up-to-date than the version on the web site at
the URL above.

The "minimal OMF file" and "complete OMF file" examples in the cvs
version of the doc validate, with the exception of the "id" attribute of
the "version" tag, which should be "identifier". I'll file a bug, and
perhaps when Dan surfaces he can do whatever magic is necessary to get
the web site version of the doc updated.

Cheers,
John
