Not using a predictable algorithm in XSLT's generate-id() is just for efficiency reasons, and is very inconvenient for users (e.g. when comparing output from different XSLT processors, or even different runs of the same XSLT processor). I don't see any such efficiency consideration in our case. It's also useful to be able to generate sequential purely numeric attributes by setting the prefix to "". -- Richard
