Remarks
According to the XML 1.0 Recommendation (REC-xml-19980210), ID attribute values must be unique within their XML documents, and no element can specify more than one ID attribute.
This method was designed to handle ID/IDREF relationships in XML, but does not require an attribute of type IDREF. It can be used generically in a way similar to the all collection in DHTML.
This member is an extension of the W3C DOM.
