If elements were relational database columns I would be able to specify any element(s) as keys. If I understand XSL correctly, only attributes of elements can be IDs, not sub-elements themselves. Since it is likely that most database-oriented applications will use regular columns as IDs (i.e. the ID will have system/internal as well as real-world/external meaning), it would be a major limitation if these were forced to become attributes of some other element. Can this be fixed?
