The one backwards-incompatible change I'm considering is changing the
NET delimiter the same way XML does so that
   <foo/>content/
does not get interpreted as
   <foo><content</foo>
or
   <foo></foo><content/
(depending on whether foo is an empty element or not)
by true SGML parsers.

Me personally? None. I'll note, however, that most legacy UA's don't
support IDs at all.
