Actually, that doesn't matter in XSLT 1.0, since if you supply a
node-set to the generate-id() function it gives you the generated ID
for the first node in that node-set automatically. But I usually put
in the [1] anyway (a) because it makes it clearer what's going on and
(b) because in XSLT 2.0, it's an error to supply more than one node as
the argument to generate-id().
