Well, that would be nice, but I don't see how. There's no parser-independent portable way to set ID attributes during document creation except for DOM3 which is only supported in recent versions of Xerces, and perhaps a few other parsers. If you're thinking this is fundamentally broken with respect to XML in general, you'd be right, but that's another discussion. -- Scott
