Now, the next most popular bug is the clash of IDs on import or cross-document paste. How close are we now to fixing that? What if I just do a hack - adding some random string to all IDs and URIs in the document fragment being inserted to prevent the clash?
Once we have the infrastructure to find all the IDs and references in the pasted fragment, why not check whether each ID is actually clashing, and only change the ones that are?
(At that point we can also check for the unlikely but possible event where the altered ID also clashes, and pick yet another).
