Anything you can do with id() in XSLT can be done just as well with key() -
and arguably better, since you're less dependent on external factors to
ensure that the IDs are identified as such.

(And in Saxon-SA these days you don't really need to bother with key()
either, you can just write //x[p='q'] and let the system take care of it).
