Visibility of id within group element

[K. W. Landry]

Folks,
A quick sanity check, if you will.

Individual elements with an "id" attribute are completely visible through the api via *.getid, *.getAttributeNodeNS, etc.... Take those same elements and embed within a <g> element and the same elements are no longer accessible via the very same "id" attribute as before.

I can't find a reference that states this is by design/spec, but is this correct behavior, yes,no?


Thanks,

KWL
