Again. I got the files and couldn't compile them. The validator said the

every tag can have an ID. What can't you understand? I know that the ID
is not needed in the TITLE tag but I still think that XMLC should follow
the latest XHTML revisions.

I think you know perfectly well what I can't understand because you hinted at it when you said "I know the ID is not needed".  I can't fathom why you'd bother putting an id attribute, whose sole purpose is life is to distinguish an element from others, on a <title> element when the spec says that there must be no more and no less than *one* <title> element in an HTML or XHTML document.  It is already unique.  Do you wish to make it doubly unique (does that even mean anything?)?  That said, I agree with you that there is no reason XMLC's XHTML parser shouldn't allow it.  It is just completely redundant and as bugs go, I'd put this one at the bottom of the list to fix.
