  Hi

The issue is this: I have a function that generates some
nodes based on some strings and these nodes must receive a
unique ID/IDREF value. Normally, one would use
generate-id(), but inside a function (or inside anything
that does not have a context node), generate-id() will
fail.

  The point is that generate-id() is not a random string
generator.  It generates an ID based on a node, always the
same ID for the same node.  If you call it without argument,
the context item is used (which is indeed not possible in a
function definition).

  If you can't use extension functions nor pass a reference
node to the function, I'm afraid you are out of luck here.
