XSLT will resolve all of them, forward and reverse if needed.

The source of the problem as I see it is the dual use of id attributes.
Just because the stylesheets have an option of using sect1 id values
as file names, it doesn't mean we have to.

If the problems are separated, variant solutions will meet the different
needs.

id values should simply be document unique points used for cross
reference. No more. As the schema says, they are optional.
