DD: I consider, "It's me." I consider, "It is I." If I am the 
responder asked outside the door, I opt for "Smee." I consider what 
the Lord would say, "It is I, your King." Both sound correct to me. 
One has the qualifier tag on and sounds more formal. Back when I was 
lectured to on this sort of things, the teacher would just say the 
first is colloquial.
Similarly, sort of, the answer to being asked, "Who is out there 
making all that racket?" is usually of the type, "It's him again." Is 
it a try for the dedication to using Latin grammar in English?
