After converting a small amount of XML content from DocBook 4.5 to DocBook 5, I 
tried generating output and was surprised to discover that Xerces-J 2.11 (the 
latest release) doesn't support xml:id. As a result, I get "XPointer resolution 
unsuccessful" for any XIncludes that reference an XPointer.

I've read other posts that suggest there's a patch somewhere that addresses 
this, but I haven't found a downloadable version of Xerces-J that includes the 
patch. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I tried downloading the source for Xerces-J 2.11 and then building new JAR 
files with patched classes found here: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1113. However, I couldn't get 
Xerces-J to build successfully with several different JDK versions due to 
problems with org.apache.html.dom.HTMLElementImpl. I haven't tried later 
versions of the Xerces-J source from the Subversion Repository yet to see if 
they build successfully.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
