  xml:id covers only this attribute, nothing else. So don't expand
this to normal ones. 
  I'm still not sure how unlink on an attribute should work in the
general case, if you take an Infoset viewpoint there is no reason to
remove it, if you take a DTD viewpoint IDness is dependant on the carrying
element. Grey area... I would still tend to favor the Infoset one
myself, but I may be biased.
