If an application does generate duplicate IDs, then this is an issue in the application. It's not an ODF issue. ODF uses W3C ID datatypes. This requires uniqueness.
Yet you do not require implementations to produce unique id values?

Please recognise that any implementation is seen as ODF. I said ODF, I meant ODF. If Oasis choose not to validate implementation output, then that is a weakness IMHO. regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
