cloneNode and xml:id bug?

Hello.

I'm having a problem that might be a bug of libxml (or unprobably gdome).

When I use gdome_el_cloneNode with an element that has an xml:id attribute then the new cloned element get locked, in a way that xml:id can't be changed and is assigned to an empty string. Is this a normal behaviour? (PS: this occurs before the insertion of the cloned element with insertBefore.)

Regards,
bráulio

  I don't understand what a 'locked' element means, I don't see why you
  should not be able to fix the xml:id on a copied element. seems
  specific to gdome.

The strange thing is that if I *only* change the attribute name from "xml:id" on the DTD to "id" then everything works, except gdome_doc_getElementById. The type is kept ID for both names.
So, it is related with the attribute name.
