We did as you suggested, which is indeed an easy way to process the authored document. We wondered what would be the best way to automatically generate missing IDs (e.g. those equal to '???'). We hoped to find a method similar to 'generate-id(.)' function call in the XXE Java API (e.g. in , but did not see any. We thought XNode was the place where to start to look for a solution; how would you advise us to achieve this ? Many thanks for your advise, Best regards.
