Sounds mostly good, except that we have to bump the XML schema when we want to do T183490: MCR schema migration stage 4: Migrate External Store URLs (wmf production). If we made id optional & deprecated right away, we wouldn't have to do that. Perhaps this is one of the questions to answer during the RFC discussion.
Let's talk about it there, indeed. I'd prefer to be explicit about when the 'id' attribute is going away, rather than marking it optional indefinitely.
Also, I don't see why location should be optional. Why not just always output it? Afterall, it's what we want people to use in the future, why not make it easy for them to use it now? Though I'm not sure who actually consumes these attributes, and for what purpose (other than generating a full dump from a stub dump). The values are purely internal.
I'm reluctant to change anything about the formatting of the main slot this round. There are tools that convert xml dumps to sql suitable for import, and the text id may be used by some of these as a convenience for constructing the text table entry.
