If you're parsing XML, you can use XMLParser's XMLDOMParser and use #findElementWithID: to find the first element (starting with the receiver) that has the given ID. It identifies ID attributes as any attribute whose ATTLIST DTD declaration has type "ID" (this now works with or without validation enabled) or if it's named "xml:id".

Hi!
I needed to query some things inside some XML and I saw Soup in the catalog.
I was a little surprise to find no method to get elements by their id. This is one of the two common way to get elements in HTML.
Is there a reason for not having a #findTagById:? If not, can add it?
