Right, my hypothesis is: - since FF3 doesn't handle svg's animation (or SMIL if you will) elements they become unknown XML elements in the DOM - as a consequence the 'id' attribute isn't on an svg element that FF3 knows, and therefore is not thought to be of type ID => it's handled as any other unknown attribute Or in other words, what you wrote :)
