Jeremy - With the \.dtd we're required to use, many of the attributes of these top-level (that is, chapter-level) elements are optional. So, yeah. Go figure.

And they still validated??? They shouldn't have; that would be a bug in the validator. In XML, the ID attribute cannot be empty, and must start with a letter (after which it can contain only letters, digits, hyphens, and underscore). You can just make it "x", or else remove it entirely. Also note that within any particular XML file, IDs must be unique; it's OK for IDs in different files to be the same. HTH! -- Jeremy H.
