Thanks for your advice. So I should move smoothly away from usage of
id() and idref()? I always thought (in fact I hoped it would be that
way) that elements with ID-attributes are treated in a special way while
they are parsed (some sort of indexing done automatically), which would
enhance processing performance... But Saxon seems to do a lot in
background.

Especially loosing the possibility of fetching elements via id() and idref() would hurt me most. <xsl:key name="column-by-fullname" match="column" use="concat(parent::table/@name,'.',@name)"/> (And in Saxon-SA these days you don't really need to bother with key() either, you can just write //x[p='q'] and let the system take care of it).
