If document is the document element of your documents (:-), then the
key is doing no work that isn't already being done by the fact that
the 'id' attribute is required. The 'key' identity constraint simply
requires every selected element (in our case there can be only one) to
have a single unique value for the field path -- that will always be
true for your documents.
If you want your 'id' element to be a possible target for
XPointer-specified links, then the legacy ID type is what you want,
and you'll have to change your syntax to be compatible with that type.
