Hi Jakob,

These Id and Idref attributes are usually created to facilitate converting 
the unstructured cross-references to structured cross-references. There is 
no way that I know of to change this attribute name during the conversion. I 
use FrameScript to clean up the cross-references, including renaming the Id 
and Idref attributes to match the final EDD.
