I was thinking that I needed an id which encoded the node's position 
within the source document. It turns out that any kind of random or 
non-random id is fine as long as it is guaranteed to be unique within a 
document. I can use the document order to imply sequentiality.

(The input XML encodes musical notation, so information about the precise 
sequence of the elements musn't be lost)

Thanks very much for the assistance.

Brian
