Re: p:label-elements builtin

/ ht@inf.ed.ac.uk (Henry S. Thompson) was heard to say:
| Prefer: Sequential numbers.
| Live with: A boolean option, default false, if true means 'best

So labelling this document:

  <doc>
    <para/>
    <para xml:id="_2"/>
  </doc>

would silently produce

  <doc xml:id="_1">
    <para xml:id="_2"/>
    <para xml:id="_2"/>
  </doc>

and that would be ok?

                                          norm
