Re: [docbook-apps] xml:id on certain DocBook elements doesn't produce id's in HTML output

    It is also the case that the 'generate.id.attributes' feature is not yet fully
    implemented in the stylesheets. Some elements generate an id, but others still
    generate a named anchor instead. I'd like to finish that feature before the next
    release.

    Exactly for that reason, I need to make a link to them, i.e.:

    <screenshot xml:id="some-screen" xreflabel="Nice screen">
    <mediaobject>
    <imageobject>
    <imagedata fileref="screen.png" />
    </imageobject>
    </mediaobject>
    </screenshot>

    <para>Look at the <xref linkend="some-screen" /> to see it's awesomeness.</para>
