Thanks for pointing out the patch. It will do exactly what I need. I resorted to adding the DTD declarations for DocBook 5 into the target documents to work around this limitation. It is a little ugly, but it works.

As Michael commented on the bug that is not a full xml:id support but it makes the shorthand pointers working.. so I hope that helps you.
