Not sure what you mean by "declares the attribute mID as valid." What I 
think you want is to have the semantic of having an attribute value for 
that attribute defined. In other words, if I am using this as a 
container, then no mID attribute value should be declared. If used as a 
milestone, then declare the mID attribute.

BTW, I think this container semantic with mID goes beyond most of the 
other milestone work I have seen. Maybe we should work up an article for 
xml.com or somewhere about it.
