Thank you for pointing at this compatibility problem.

It is true that there is almost no syntax check in XSLTForms. This was 
done at compile-time in AJAXForms with a Java program. But XSLTForms is 
much more concerned by performance so this should be added as an option.

I know testing can required much time when not automatically performed...

I'm not sure it would be a good idea to convert every id to lowercase, 
for example, and it should be performed at runtime in many different 
Javascript instructions anyway.

It could be possible to convert every id into a string of ASCII/Unicode 
codes in Hex notation for maximal compatibility but is it really 
necessary???

Thanks!
