Being pedantic:
1.  That *may* be legal, since URI is of type anyURI.
2.  Without the --dtdfile argument, xmlsec doesn't know that this
    is an IDREF/ID pair.
3.  ID's are of type NAME, and cannot have square brackets in them;
    so "<foo Id='Object[....]>", if Id is an attribute of type ID,
    is not legal XML.  The toolkit you used is doing something wrong.
