Some (all? didn't test it recently) variants of MS Internet Explorer balk at 
ID attributes in <span> tags - that's why XMLC drops the ID from <span> tags 
by default.

This behaviour is controlled by the OutputOptions.setDropHtmlSpanIds() setter 
method - set it to false, and HTML span IDs will be preserved.

Example:

HTTPServletRequest req = ...;
HTTPServletResponse res = ...;
XMLCObject page = ...;
XMLCCoontext ctx = ...;

OutputOptions oo = new OutputOptions();
oo.setDropHtmlSpanIds(false);
ctx.writeDOM(req, res, oo, doc);

Hope this helps,

Richard
