Reported by Joel Wallenberg:

Annotald has a problem with `ID` nodes, and probably all nodes which sit inside the wrapper, rather than inside the `IP-MAT` node (or whatever `$ROOT`). At first I thought it was `ID`s, but now I know that this also applies to `METADATA` nodes as they are in the Parsed Corpus of Early English Correspondence. So it looks like Annotald does not support anything inside the wrapper other than the main root node. I think this has to do with the lack of a representation for the wrapper, i.e., there is a bar on the far left of the screen which you click in order to make matrix tokens, and this manipulates both the wrapper and the matrix node simultaneously. There is no way to manipulate the wrapper independently from the root node.
