no a literal result element like <x/> is (more or less) the same as using
<xsl:element name="x"/> it's a single node in the stylesheet but it
generates a new node each time it's executed, and generate-id() is being
applied to that result.

Unless the XSLT processor decides to "optimize" this and makes the
node global(static) -- moves it outside the scope of the function....
