Re: [office] The desirability of xml:id stability

I agree about xml:id being a public API in some cases.  However, that is not how xml:id is profiled in ODF.  ODF limits xml:id to very specific cases and does not consider its arbitrary use to establish anchors.  It's also nothing [xml-id] specification requires.  In fact, it strikes me that [xml-id] was not originally intended for that purpose.
