I have a problem with transfering xml:ids from one document to another,
sample code is attached. Somehow the id attribute gets lost. Am I doing
something wrong, missing something, or is this a bug in the XML libs (I
use the ones supplied with the standard JDK)? Maybe this is a "feature"?
It is rather annoying if this doesn't work, since it forces me to to
travers the tree and do id handling myself.
The code produces the same output under OpenJDK, Sun's JDK 1.6 and 1.5:

: [elem: null]

Try removing 'elementFormDefault="qualified"' from your schema (xsd).
Some schema processors may require qualification in your xml (for
'elem'), even though qualification is not possible in your case ...
because you have no (target)Namespace.
