Then do it in a version of the spec that doesn't try to be

Batik I noticed a feature of this method, it allows for
searching of disconnected subtrees (which could have duplicate
id's, since they aren't in the document).
How is one to reconcile that feature with restrictions on duplicate IDs when the
node _is_ in the document? Please suggest reasonable wording?
Note that the definition of the method explicitly talks about the "document
tree", so it's not clear to me whether Batik's behavior is even correct... If
it is, the method's definition in the specification needs a _lot_ of clarification.
