If I could just offer a data point that seems to have been overlooked in the discussion so far ... If one needs to associate two things, all that is needed is to associate them via a common name. It is *not* required that this name be an identifier for anything in particular. For example, if we had the following two documents; <foo relation="900weir0w9irwaer"/> <bar relation="900weir0w9irwaer"/> Then, knowing that "relation" means "is associated with this value", this provides the necessary information to relate those two documents and/or what they represent. Note that this is done without any indication of what that string means, nor of what it might identify. Mark.
