do you mean that? it would be unusual to specify a list of values for @xml:id.

why does your e-text repository need to know how you validate your file in oXygen? set it up so that your prefererred schema is the
default for <TEI> documents, and then proceed. Or is your repository insisting that the file have a hard-wired link to a schema?

I am not sure what the Council can do about it?
