Odd -- I haven't encountered this yet in my documents. All ids are
unique there and I'm depending on it. Also I know from the code that
they're supposed to be unique..

What *is* a problem currently (I think) is that you can't copy a branch
from one XML document into another with the DOM methods. (the DOM
doesn't provide for this) So there you can run into unique ID problems.
