You said it yourself: id() needs the information in the DTD to work
out which attributes to index on.  In the absence of a DTD you can use
xsl:key and key() to do the same job.

If you do not like replicating information in the schema in a
hand-written xsl:key, then you could write a stylesheet which takes
the schema as input and produces a stylesheet containing just some
xsl:key definitions: import this into the main stylesheet.  Maybe
someone has already done this?
