Add distinguishing attributes to REST binding

      Add XML IDs (or some other distinguishing attribute) to the standard to make it more easily used by non-Atom clients. This would allow getElementById() to get the single element you're interested in. E.g. descendantsDoc.getElementById("myType-self-uri")

      The distinction between children and descendants should be more easily discernible than by the type attribute

      Description

      A simple change would facilitate consumption of the REST binding for non-ATOM clients.

      For instance to create a query I currently need to do:
      1. repoDoc = parse(http://...)
      1. collections = repoDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2007/app", "collection")
      2. for (collection : collections)
      1. if ("types".equals(collection.getAttributeNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/restatom/200901", "collectionType"))
      1. typesUrl = collection.getAttribute("href");
      3. templates = repoDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/restatom/200901", "uritemplate")
      4. for (template : templates)
      1. if ("query".equals(template.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/restatom/200901", "type")[0].getText()))
      1. queryTemplate = template.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/restatom/200901", "template")[0].getText()
      2. typesDoc = parse(typesUrl)
      1. types = typeDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom", "entry")
      2. for (type : types)
      1. links = type.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom", "link")
      2. for (link : links)
      1. if ("application/cmistree+xml;type=feed".equals(link.getAttribute("type"))
      1. descendantsUrl = link.getAttribute("href")
      3. descendantsDoc = parse(descendantsUrl)
      1. types = typeDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom", "entry")
      2. for (type : types)
      1. localName = type.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200901", "localName")
      2. if ("MyTypeName".equals(localName.getText())
      1. links = type.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom", "link")
      2. for (link : links)
      1. if ("self".equals(link.getAttribute("rel"))
      1. myTypeUrl = link.getAttribute("href")
      4. myTypeDoc = parse(myTypeUrl)
      1. tableName = myTypeDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200901", "queryName")[0].getText()
      2. propNames = type.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200901", "localName")
      3. for (propName : propNames) {
      1. if ("myPropName".equals(propName.getText())
      1. propQueryName = propName.getParenter.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200901", "queryName")[0].getText()
      5. query = "SELECT * FROM " + tableName + "WHERE " propQueryName + " = \"myValue\""
      6. queryUrl.replace("

      {query}

      ", query)
      7. reultsDoc = parse(queryUrl)
      1. Similarly parse the query response
