Parsing a Document instance from file, setting the "id" attribute of an element on that instance to some value, and then flagging the "id" attribute for that element to be the IdAttribute using (Element).setIdAttribute("id", true) does not seem to work.
Retrieving that very same element via getElementById on the Document instance will return null, where one would expect the element. [attaching tarball demonstrating this in a simple java script (67 lines)] -- Summary: org.w3c.dom.Element.getElementById returns null after manual (setIdAttribute) identifying of element in Document instance.
