idType 

<h:div class="summary">A unique ID for an element.</h:div>
<h:div class="description">
  <h:p>This is not formally of type ID (an XML NAME which must start with a letter and contain only letters, digits and
    <h:tt>.-_:</h:tt>). It is recommended that IDs start with a letter, and contain no punctuation or whitespace. The function in XSLT will generate semantically void unique IDs.</h:p>
  <h:p>It is difficult to ensure uniqueness when documents are merged. We suggest namespacing IDs, perhaps using the containing elements as the base. Thus
    <h:tt>mol3:a1</h:tt>could be a useful unique ID. However this is still experimental.</h:p>
