Re: How to use generate-id() inside an xsl:function w

<xsl:function name="pref:myId" as="xs:string">
 <xsl:variable name="myNode" as="element()">
    <someNode/>
 </xsl:variable>

 <xsl:variable name="vdynNode" as="element()">
   <xsl:copy-of select="$myNode"/>
 </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:sequence select="generate-id($vdynNode)"/>

<xsl:function


surely you can lose the first variable and write that as

<xsl:function name="pref:myId" as="xs:string">
 <xsl:variable name="myNode" as="element()">
    <someNode/>
 </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:sequence select="generate-id($myNode)"/>

<xsl:function

or in xquery,no variables at all, just generate-id(<somenode/>)
