Ah, I liked the idea from the blog I linked to of having it be the offset
from the start of the doc, which may be as simple as having a base address
subtracted from the tag's address in the id generation, but I don't know
enough xslt to claim to understand the methods it used to do it.

I don't see any relevant reports for it in the libxslt product under
bugzilla.gnome.org yet.
