There is no guarantee that a generated unique identifier will be
distinct from any unique IDs specified in the source document.
Yuk. IMHO that's a spec weakness. More constrained, surely
it's not rocket science to implement.
You could do it yourself
Which would IMHO be a kludge to work round a spec weakness.
Yes. Lots of ways to do it as this thread has shown.
If I've followed this thread, the problem is that generate-id() might
clash with some existing id in the source? Mixing 2 ways of creating
the ids seems odd, and using a single consistent approach should make
the problem go away Ultimately though, you should be validating the
result -
If implementations did what the casual reader might assume
I wouldn't have to Andrew?
The spec, read today, with xml:id existent, is misleading.
