I understood that part, but..

I must be seriously misreading the code then! As I understand it, it
goes up the XML tree from the current node until the parent node isn't
an XML Node anymore. It would find the top node of the trees this way.
Then it checks the next_id attribute there and uses this for the new id.
It also increases the _next_id attribute by 1. Wouldn't this guarantee
an unique id each time it's called? Perhaps there's something in the way
it's called that makes me misread it.. Or I misread the loop that I
think goes up the tree?
