Which error?

What is "xs:ID validation"?  Is that a special kind of validation?
Patterns are translated into reg-exes, because the XML::LibXML module
does not export the related libxml2 functions (yet).  So there could
be something wrong.
  But please send me some code which does shows the problem (off-
mailinglist might be better)

 If not, is there any existing work-around?

This looks ok. But reading did work, as you reported.  Writing didn't.
