Which would mean we also have to start redfining DOM, so document.getElementById(...) is defined to work against things that happen to be named id and not just things that are ID's.
Is it really worth going down this road?
If you mean: Is it worth going down the road of requiring getElementById to support arbitrary characters in ids?
Perhaps not. Depends on what is implemented.
If you mean: Is it worth going down the road of requiring getElementById to consider idness based on factors other that the ID type in a DTD?
Definitely yes. Browsers don't process DTDs and the W3C already allows the DOM impl to use info other than the DTD to figure out which attributes count as ids.
