But as Tyler pointed out, this is slightly absure HTML. The way to
solve the problem of two id attributes on one element is NOT to
introduce a new element (the span). Instead, change the start/menuend
ids to classes so that the html looks like this:

<ul>
       <li class="start"><a href="#">Menu item1</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Menu item1</a></li>
       <li id="active"><a href="#">Menu item1</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Menu item1</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Menu item1</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Menu item1</a></li>
       <li class="menuend"><a href="#">Menu item1</a></li>
</ul>

Even if that's not useful to you for some reason, you can always apply
the active item's id attribute with ATagParams:

ACT.ATagParams = id="active"

...all without introducing any excess markup.
