I *think* what this boils down to is that the free version of Saxon (which is what XMLBeans is using) does not support typing and so getId()-type Xpaths cannot work.
Of course (before you rush out and buy Saxon :p) no one had the non-opensource version to integrate XMLBeans with it so it will not work at all probably. I am not an expert in the area, so corrections are welcome, also if someone has experience with Saxon outside of XMLBeans, it would be interesting to know if that works.
