Maybe you should say what you are trying to do at a higher level. ID's are
designed to mark an element in a document. Therefore reusing the ID is not
useful. If you want to "reuse" an element then you could express that with
IDs:

<a><b><reference-to-c target="ABC"/></b></a>

<c id="ABC">

Your higher level code would have to implement the semantic of element
reuse.
