RE: [xsl] XSL(2.0?) Transformer and RelaxNG

I'm thinking of moving away from DTD towards RelaxNG, but 
what will happen to my tool chain? Especially loosing the 
possibility of fetching elements via id() and idref() would 
hurt me most.

Anything you can do with id() in XSLT can be done just as well with key() -
and arguably better, since you're less dependent on external factors to
ensure that the IDs are identified as such.

(And in Saxon-SA these days you don't really need to bother with key()
either, you can just write //x[p='q'] and let the system take care of it).
