And it is guaranteed to generate always the same ID when called on the same node. The typical example is the creation of a table of content: you pass through the entire document in a first pass, in a mode dedicated to generating the ToC, using generate-id on say, the section elements, to generate links to the sections; then you pass through the entire document a second time, to format the actual content, setting on each section the same ID used in the ToC (by calling generate-id again on the section elements).
