thanks for the msg. However your used syntax ( <rule:foo
rdf:ID="rule_{ generate-id(.) }">) is not working for me. My xalan
XSLT Processor complains about the use of  curly braces in the string.
So I have to use it this way: <rule:foo rdf:ID="concat('rule_',
generate-id(.))">

ok I guess at this point it doesn't really matter. I just mentioned it
to check whether this is a problem at the level of the processor or
something else.

  So you can use generate-id() iff you can make a link
between these generated elements and nodes in your input
tree.  For example, say that those elements are generated in
the template for the element "myelem", that have a mandatory
attribute "myattr".  Then you can write:

    <xsl:template match="myelem">
      <!-- Will always generate the same string for the same
           myelem node in the same transformation. -->
      <rule:foo rdf:ID="rule_{ generate-id(.) }">
        ...
      </rule:foo>
      <!-- Will always generate the same string for the same
           @myattr node in the same transformation. -->
      <constraint:test
          rdf:ID="constraint_{ generate-id(@myattr) }">
        ..
      <constraint:tes>
    </xsl:template>
