whole path to template
> NOTE: edcSystem is the root node.

No, it isn't, the root node / never has a name. It correspnds to
the whole document. the element node edcSystem will be a child of the
root node.

"generate-id(/edcSystem/EDCContract/@a10)"/> <!-- ********** DOES NOT WORK
********* -->

It's no good saying DOES NOT WORK without giving us some clue as to what
actually happened.

generate-id(/edcSystem/EDCContract/@a10)

will generate an id for that node if there is such a node but if there
is not one then it won't (it will return an empty string in this case).
Without seeing your source then it's hard to say anything else.

note it is rare to use long paths with xsl:template match = 
and _very_ rare to use long paths with generate-id, perhaps you should
state what transform you are trying to do.
