Summary:
Currently I have a situation where I've exported a XLIFF file from Xcode, added a single localization to it and try to import that file back to Xcode. When importing the file, I get an error dialog from Xcode with the following text:

"XLIFF id attribute missing".

No other details are provided. Since the XLIFF file was generated by Xcode itself, all required "id" attributes should be there. With this error description, I don't have any way of knowing what went wrong and what to do to fix the issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Xcode 6.0.1
2. Create a project with English-only resources
3. Export resources to a XLIFF file from Editor -> Export For Localization…
4. Add a single localization, add "target-language" attribute
5. Import XLIFF with Editor -> Import Localizations…


Expected Results:
6. Everything is imported without errors, OR if there is something wrong with the XLIFF file, a detailed error report is produced (either in Xcode or even just in system Console)

Actual Results:
6. An error dialog is displayed with the following string:

"XLIFF id attribute missing". No other details is given. System console doesn't give any extra details. There's no enough info for fix the issue.
