Subject: Multipart keys
One thing that significantly affects the design of an ID/IDREF replacement mechanism is whether we support multipart keys (eg the firstName attribute and lastName attribute together uniquely identify person elements). Which side of the 80/20 divide do multipart keys lie on? Note that I am not counting relative or hierarchical keys as multipart keys. Saying that department names uniquely identify departments within companies would not count as a multipart key. James
