      \brief Id capabilities include the ability to refer to elements in a GML version 3 data source using an ogc:GmlObjectId with a gml:id attribute.

      Any elements with a gml:id attribute, including
      features, geometries, topologies, and complex attributes,
      may be so referenced.<br>
      For backward compatibility, Id capabilities
      also include the ability to refer to features
      using an ogc:FeatureId with a fid attribute.
      Only features with a GML version 2 gml:fid attribute
      may be so referenced. Note that features in a
      GML version 3 data source may have gml:fid
      attributes for backwards compatibility with GML
      version 2, in addition to gml:id attributes
      introduced in GML version 3. This ability is
      deprecated.
