Yes: what I was saying is that the SAXON implementation of generate-id() conforms to the spec but also offers some additional guarantees. These include: - it will always generate the same id's for the same source document - the id's will be collated in document order - the id for a node is a leading substring of the id for its descendant nodes. Of course, if you choose to exploit these features you are sacrificing portability. Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
