The javadoc for the Document class has the following note under getElementById.
Note: Attributes with the name "ID" or "id" are not of type ID
unless so defined
So, I read an XHTML doc into the DOM (using Xerces 2.9.1).
The doc has a plain old <p id='fribble'> in it.
I call getElementById("fribble"), and it returns null.
I use XPath to get "//*[id='fribble']", and all is well.
So, the question is, what causes the DocumentBuilder to actually mark
ID attributes as 'so defined?'
