I am implementing XInclude processing in XSLT by generating a new single result document in memory. This means that I'm not literally creating a new info set. In my use cases it is essentially a certainty that IDs will be duplicated among the member documents included (because otherwise it would be necessary to make IDs unique across all possible documents, which is neither practical nor, in the abstract, necessary). Therefore I must rewrite IDs and their references. I want to confirm that my reading of the 10 November Working Draft allows this processing. In particular, I intepret the 3rd bullet under 4.5.3: o The result infoset has ID clashes - that is, more than one attribute with attribute type ID with the same normalized value. In this case, attributes with attribute type IDREF or IDREFS with the same normalized value might have different values for their references properties. as indicating that the effective target of references to duplicated IDs will be to the original elements (as included), that is, that "might have different values for their reference properties" is the infoset equivalent of ID rewriting. Is my interpretation correct? Thanks, Eliot -- W.
