As usual, the resident troll gets things all wrong in his eagerness to 
lecture pointlessly on marginal or completely off-topic issues that he 
has digested rather poorly. Surely if you read just the infamous 
Appendix C, and maybe the sloppy wording in HTML 4.01 spec prose, you 
might get such fancy ideas. But the HTML 4.01 Document Type Definitions, 
which are all that matters regarding attribute type defined per the 
spec, say:

<!ENTITY % coreattrs
  "id          ID             #IMPLIED  -- document-wide unique id --
