I think you know perfectly well what I can't understand because you hinted 
at it when you said "I know the ID is not needed".  I can't fathom why 
you'd bother putting an id attribute, whose sole purpose is life is to 
distinguish an element from others, on a <title> element when the spec says 
that there must be no more and no less than *one* <title> element in an 
HTML or XHTML document.  It is already unique.  Do you wish to make it 
doubly unique (does that even mean anything?)?  That said, I agree with you 
that there is no reason XMLC's XHTML parser shouldn't allow it.  It is just 
completely redundant and as bugs go, I'd put this one at the bottom of the 
list to fix.
