Hi.

Is it problematic that you may want to use a repeated xml:id on a child
of an 'event' element?  Something like:

  <rex xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2006/rex"
       xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <event target="id('c')" name="DOMNodeRemoved">
      <svg:circle xml:id="c" cx="100" cy="200" r="5"/>
    </event>
    <event target="id('c')" name="DOMNodeRemoved">
      <svg:rect xml:id="c" x="95" y="195" width="10" height="10"/>
    </event>
  </rex>

The REX message document then has an xml:id error.  I don't think it is
inconceivable that you would have multiple replacements of an element
with an ID, especially if the events are being streamed over a period
of time.

Thanks,

Cameron
