The 1.1 lang spec for <fn/> says that the presence of the ID attribute on <fn/> affects how the footnote is rendered. Is that true?

If so, I think we need to mention it in the ID attribute section of the archspec. I'm imagining a tool vendor providing an option to "automatically generate IDs", not knowing that the presence of the ID attribute has processing implications.

I think fn is the only one.

If an <fn> has an ID, then it does not directly generate a callout, but must be referenced by <fnref>.

It makes some kind of twisted sense but it is a bit of an odd rule.

I don't think there are any other elements for which the use of @id has a similar effect.
