Ok -- I'm not as clear on this as I thought.

In the following, can the xml:id function as the document id (without
any additional declaration)? And therefore if this is in a book called
book1 (xml:id book1), can it link to a file called graphics.xml
(xml:id graphics) in book2 (<olink targetdoc="Book2"
targetptr="graphics">use a graphic</olink>?

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<chapter xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
  xmlns:xl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; version="5.0" xml:id="filenames">
  <title>File Structure and Filenames</title>
 ...

That would help disambiguate things... methinks!
