Re: [xsl] is ID definition in DTD necessday for id()

["Steve Renshaw" <renshaw_steve@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought it was necessary initially, but the following xml and xsl display 
"Hello World" in IE6 whether the doctype in included or not.
Am I msising something ehre?

doit.xml
=========
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE root [
<!ELEMENT root (item)>
<!ELEMENT item (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST item id ID #REQUIRED>
]>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="doit.xsl"?>
<root><item id="x123">Hello World</item></root>

doit.xsl
=========
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:template match="id('x123')">
     <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
