If authors are using multiple IDs on the same element, then they 
presumably know what they are doing and can handle it. I wouldn't want to 
start stripping random attributes just because someone labelled it as 
being an ID attribute. We only strip the one attribute to prevent 
confusion in the normal order of things.

IMHO.
