I think that's entities you're thinking of.  In old SGML, you couldn't
declare any attribute multiple times; in WebSGML and XML, you can.
However, a single element type still can't have multiple attributes of
type ID; MSIE 5 checks the type without regard for the name, and
decries the second declaration of a particular ID attribute as though
it were a new, second ID attribute.
