Use of anchor or id for referencing

[ktmf01]

Following #173, I tried to reference a table. It seems the following should be possible

{id="myid"}
---|---
 a | b
 d | d

Please refer to table (#myid, use counter)

However, xml2rfc complains

Error: IDREF attribute target references an unknown ID "myid", at None

The following however, works

{anchor="myid"}
---|---
 a | b
 d | d

Please refer to table (#myid, use counter)

I'm not sure whether this is a documentation or implementation problem, or whether I'm doing something else wrong.

Yes, xml2rfc uses 'anchor' instead of 'id', there is no magic translation done between the two to make xml2rfc happy. If you use {#myid} however the correct thing is done, i.e. anchor for xml output, and id for html output.
