id

<h:div class="summary">A unique ID for an element.</h:div> <h:div class="description">Id is used for machine identification of elements and in general should not have application semantics. It is similar to the XML ID type as containing only alphanumerics, '_', ',' and '-' and and must start with an alphabetic character. Ids are case sensitive. Ids should be unique within local scope, thus all atoms within a molecule should have unique ids, but separated molecules within a doc (such as a published article) might have identical ids. Software should be able to search local scope (e.g. all atoms within a molecule). However this is under constant review.</h:div>
