Id is text when MSDN says it should be an int
You have conflicting information here. The Id field of the ListInstance element as defined here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms476062.aspx

says that:

Id = Required Integer. Specifies a unique identifier for the list instance. The integer must be unique across the Feature definition.

But your example above has the Id of the ListInstance element as "WssAdminTasks".
