That isn't an XSLT error (teh XSLT spec goes to some lengths to define
the (error free) behaviour which ensures that to XSLT there are never
duplicate ids (as later matching attributes are not taken to be ids)

So this means you are using a validating parser on your input.
If you do that then having duplicate IDs is an error (specified in the
XML Rec) so you get an error and XSLT never sees the document at all.
So, you should ensure that you are using a non validating parser.

If you are using a non validating parser you should not get an error
(you could get a warning) but the attributes might not be reported as of
type ID at all, in which case you can not use the id() function, but you
can always use key() instead.
