I get an xml document from an external source over which i don't have control

<news>

	 <article>
	 ...
</news>

I use an XSLT that simply matches every element

now my problem, sometime duplicate articles appear in the XML,
with the same ID resulting in the following error:

The ID '_1234567890' is duplicated.


this error probably occurs because your parser is validating your document - you should get rid of it, if you turn validation off since you have no control of what you get (you still have to deal with the duplicates in the result though).
