I am facing the problem to create the IDs to the elements. See the
following example XML file.

While all replies currently raining down are correct, I thought I might provide a stylesheet that actually follows the algorithm you wrote:


<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:param name="parentid"/>
<xsl:variable name="myid" select="concat($parentid,format-number((ancestor-or-self::*/@sequence)[last()],'000'))"/>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="substring(concat($myid,'0000000000000000'),1,15)"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*">
<xsl:with-param name="parentid" select="$myid"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
