Functions that need to see a name (such as id() which needs the id name,
which is a QName) take them as strings, thus it's id('foo:bar') not
id(foo:bar) the latter is legal of course, but looks up the ID with name
given by the string value of the element node selected by foo:bar
rather than the former, which looks up the ID foo:bar.
