And they still validated???  They shouldn't have;
that would be a bug in the validator.  In XML,
the ID attribute cannot be empty, and must start
with a letter (after which it can contain only 
letters, digits, hyphens, and underscore).  You 
can just make it "x", or else remove it entirely.  

Also note that within any particular XML file, 
IDs must be unique; it's OK for IDs in different 
files to be the same.

HTH!
