I would like it if that were true, especially since IDs represent the single
hole in XSLT 1.0's closure (you can't create IDs in the result tree and thus
can't do identity transformations). But aren't there whole classes of
stylesheets that depend on use of the id() function, e.g. Norm Walsh's
Docbook stylesheets?
