How is this done? In the general case even using generate-id() will not provide uniqueness -- the same node may be produced many times, or sometimes different nodes (in temporary trees) are assigned the same (re-used when a temporary tree has been disposed of) id. This is a typical use-case for a Monad. I would be at XML Europe next week and if somebody would be interested I can demonstrate the current Monadic Computation implementation, which is part of FXSL. ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
