There's a property of a node in the data model called the is-ID property.
The main ways a node can acquire this property are
(a) by being declared as an ID attribute in a DTD
(b) by having type xs:ID in a schema
(c) by being named xml:id
In principle, an API could allow applications to set the property
programmatically.

Subject: [xsl] What's an ID?
Hello,
the id function looks for element nodes with a certain ID
value. But what's an ID value in XSLT 2.0? Is it just an
attribute of type xsd:ID or a restricted form of it? If yes,
can't you make use of the id function if you're using an XSLT
processor without Schema support like the open source version
of Saxon?
Best wishes,
Wolfgang
