xml:id is not supported - bug 275196

And id doesn't work for arbitrary XML, you need a DTD defining an appropriate type for the id attribute:
  <!DOCTYPE rootelementname [
    <!ATTLIST elementname id ID #IMPLIED>
  ]>

Working testcase coming up.

So, invalid or a dupe of bug 275196.

Please reopen!

Your test case includes a CSS stylesheet which hides the problem. If you remove the stylesheet reference, I think you will see what the reporter of this bug meant. 

The XMLPrettyPrint.xsl stylesheet used by default does not propagate id attributes so the "pretty" XML document it produces is not navigable.

I am working on a fix for this.

[Nickolay_Ponomarev]

Er, no. That's a different bug, the original testcase included the stylesheet too.

IMO pretty-printed documents are not supposed to be navigable (in the sense of working xlink), although it would be nice if the page scrolled to the specified element when the URL inludes a fragment identifier. But again, that's a different bug: comment 0 states pretty clearly that the document is "styled by CSS".

Sorry ... you are quite right. Bug is invalid.
