But that there is a more general problem with using xml:id in ODF if we 
do not know if the files will remain separate (e.g. if they get 
recombined in some contexts): the values are to be locally unique. That 
leaves open the possibility that you have two package files with the 
same xml:id values, and so when combined, you break xml:id (because you 
have two nodes with the same value).

I suppose we could suggest assigning a UUID as the value?
