So in this particular case, it isn't so much an issue as to whether IDness should or should not persist -- it seems clear that is should so long as the schema has not been explicitly removed -- but more about what the heck happened to the schema. I mean, is it on holiday in Jamaica or something? Where did it go? I think that's the problem Elliote is up against. He seems to desire validation (or at least ID constraints, which are a form of validation declared by a schema).
Actually no, I don't. All I want is for getElementByID to work so I can implement XPointer in my XInclude engine. Validity I don't give two hoots about.
Interestingly in trying to develop a simplified test case I did try explicitly removing the schema (DocumentType), and importing the element into a schema-less (DOCTYPE-less) new document. Neither lost the IDness. There may be some weird interaction between multiple operations that's causing the IDness to go bye-bye, but so far I can't spot it. I've tried various combinations of System.out.println with little luck so far. :-(
