The name mangling producing DocBook id now follows what we do for HTML, so this should be alright (and maybe even more strict than what docbook requires).

See http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#sec-attribute-types :
"Values of type ID must match the Name production."

For the definition of Name, see:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#NT-NameStartChar
and following rules.

John, are you still there? Getting some definitive info about Docbook would be helpful in quite a few areas ...

Thanks,

Would it be incorrect to have & become &amp;? What are the constraints on id= attributes?

If a node contains an ampersand, then the docbook produced by makeinfo is broken.

Patch is attached.
