> what about using saxon:discard-document()? > > i guess it hard to persist id in this case There was a discussion a whil eback on th esaxon list as to whether that was really conformant. I think it is but you need to say that it is (essentially) like xsl:copy-of so if you call a document twice using discard-document you get (or might get) copies of the original document node. But it's all in the exact semantics of discard-document, which is out of scope for the xsl spec itself. But generate-id() is clear you always get the same id if it is the same node, but whether or not an extension function returns the same node or a copy is another question...
