well,
id() does not always work (as JC just pointed out to me off list), so
in fact its //*[@xml:id='d102']/@to
which is a bit clumsy

we discussed using this method earlier on today, but it
looked cumbersome. But thats why Lou is consulting the
council, others may find it better to be consistent
and extensible at the cost of being verbose. It also
lets you point at stuff without an ID, of course.

I think your concern about mixing two schemes is
important.
