Using Saxon8 for example, the query
let $doc := document {
<doc>
<p xml:id="node1">one</p>
<p xml:id="node2">two</p>
</doc>
}
return $doc//id('node2')
==> <p xml:id="node2">two</p>
With ML Server 3.1 it returns the empty sequence.
Since xml:id has been a W3C recommendation for a year now, could support
for it be added as an RFE in MarkLogic Server?
