Why is the prefix ID too restrictive? Do you have concrete use cases that would be prohibited by this kind of implementation? The problem with using a document attribute is having to parse the entire document first. By using the document ID directly, you can decide whether or not to parse and process the document based on just the ID, which would make sense if one of the goals is to make things faster. > Anyway, is the prefix solution on the release plan? We don't have that kind of release plan. We generally keep track of feature proposals through JIRA issue. It might well be we already have an issue for this, if you want to search for a bit and if you can't find anything open one, that might be useful. After that, someone would have to have the time and inclination to actually implement it (if you don't have anyone like that in your organization, putting out a bounty may help). Cheers, Dirkjan
