RE: Style question

You may well not like it, but you could make a UUID from the SHA hash of your nodes' names and use that (prepending 'u' or something to make it a legal xml name)- it has the advantage of being unique, and isn't confusing if the node name changes whilst its identity remains the same (by being human-opaque to begin with). It depends on your tool support (which you are writing) as to whether it causes problems in authoring, and whether it's a node with inherent identity with a human readable label, or a node whose identity is a function of the human readable label.
