xmlspec.xsl 1.11 bug fix: <at> id on item dropped

Hi Norm.

The id attribute on item elements is dropped by the XSLT style sheet,
which breaks specref's.

I am attaching a patch for it. If you want to test it, I have a fixed
version at:

    http://www.w3.org/2004/07/xmlspec-fixed-item-id.xsl

Regards,

Hugo

TR references checker

Hello spec-prod,

I've put on-line a 1st release of a tool allowing to check that links to
dated TR documents are still up to date:
http://www.w3.org/2004/07/references-checker-ui
see e.g. the results on an old Rec (DOM Level 2):
"""
The following references were found in this document, and point to an
outdate version of a W3C Technical Report:
    * Potential outdated ref: Character
      Model for the World Wide Web
    * Potential outdated ref: HTML 4.0
      Specification
    * Potential outdated ref: Extensible Markup
      Language (XML) 1.0
"""
http://www.w3.org/2000/06/webdata/xslt?xslfile=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2004%2F07%2Freferences-checker&xmlfile=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.w3.org%2Fcgi-bin%2Ftidy-if%3FdocAddr%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.w3.org%252FTR%252F2000%252FREC-DOM-Level-2-Core-20001113%252Freferences.html

The tools has some limitations to the links it checks, and has probably
room for improvements (suggestions welcome); its likely most useful use
case would be Proposed Edited Recommendations, who are likely to have
old references, but it may also be applied usefully to any other
document (TR or not).

I've linked it from the W3C Editors page [1], nearby the related
bibliography extractor [2].

As always, the tool relies on an XSLT [3], and the TR in RDF data [4];
more on this topic on my blog [5].

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc-index.xml might be useful to extend it to
check for RFCs. I am not sure whether there is similar machine-readable
data for Internet Drafts...

It might be better UI-wise to state "newer version available" rather
than "potential outdated ref".

Thanks!

Dan Connolly had come up with a script that turns this HTML list in RDF:
http://www.w3.org/2001/02pd/rfcIndexGrok.pl

Having this list maintained somewhere would also make it possible to use
the TR bibliography builder with RFC; it's still on my someday pile to
look at this, but haven't really found the time...

The link checker should deal with expired Internet Drafts,
assuming that you have a link.

Well, the script actually turns the text/plain index file into RDF and
the document I referred to is XML not HTML...

Well, I thought of something like

  There are newer versions available for the following references:

    +-----------+-------------+
    | Reference | New version |
    ...

That should not really confuse anyone...

That depends... http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-charmod-20040225/ for
example refers to

  http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit/draft-duerst-iri-06.txt

rather than

  http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-duerst-iri-06.txt

for which a link checker won't help...

Oh, sorry for the confusion; I didn't look closely enough at the
references you gave; I guess I'll have to investigate it then :)

That's my ultimate goal, but as it stands, I can't  systematically find
what's the new version of the draft; i.e., I know that a draft is
outdated if its URI is not in tr.rdf, but that's the only information I
