Its been a long time since I looked at the component and haven't had
any feedback so this is great. I think a better way would be to modify
the CreateElement method to allow an extra optional argument for
attributes (would be a struct).
To do what you are doing, you don't actually have to modify the code.
You could use CreateAttribute and supply an XPath that selects only
elements without the id attribute (I'm not sure of the XPath for this
offhand, googlable tho).
I'll add the issue to the tracker.
