Saxon XSLT and XQuery Processor

Should the id() function return nodes in the order of the id values or =
in document order?
Below is a some XML, XSL and output that appears to show the nodes being =
returned in document order rather than the oder of the values specified =
in the call to id()
Using Saxon 6.5.3 on Windows XP


XML INPUT:
---------------

<xref target=3D"mmc003-bib-0055 mmc003-bib-0054" style=3D"unformatted"/>
.......
<bib id=3D"mmc003-bib-0054">
<journalCit>
<author><surname>Smith</surname> <forenames>AL</forenames></author>
<articleTitle>Mouse parvovirus infection potentiates allogeneic skin =
graft rejection and induces syngeneic graft rejection</articleTitle>.
<journalTitle>Transplantation</journalTitle>
</journalCit>
</bib>
<bib id=3D"mmc003-bib-0055">
<journalCit>
<author><surname>McKisic</surname> <forenames>MD</forenames></author>,
<articleTitle>Mouse parvovirus infection potentiates rejection of tumor =
allografts and modulates T cell effector function</articleTitle>.
<journalTitle>Transplantation</journalTitle>
</journalCit>
</bib>


XSL:
------

<xsl:variable name=3D"idrefs" select=3D"normalize-space(@target)"/>
<xsl:message>idrefs=3D <xsl:value-of select=3D"$idrefs"/></xsl:message>

<xsl:variable name=3D"remote-nodes" select=3D"id($idrefs)"/>

<xsl:for-each select=3D"$remote-nodes">
  <xsl:message>id=3D <xsl:value-of select=3D"./@id"/></xsl:message>
</xsl:for-each>


Output:
----------

idrefs=3D mmc003-bib-0055 mmc003-bib-0054

id=3D mmc003-bib-0054
id=3D mmc003-bib-0055

I don't think there's an easy answer to this. You could do it using a =
second
transformation (prior to serialization) that uses the translate() =
function,
or as Dave Pawson suggests you could do it using character maps. =
Probably
the most elegant approach is to insert a (Java) filter into the output
pipeline, after the transformation and before the serializer, but that =
will
require some poking around Saxon's more intimate interfaces. Another
alternative is to customize the Java writer that's supplied as the
StreamResult output destination (you can write your own Writer as a =
wrapper
around a system-supplied writer).

    I'm using saxon and using different character sets in my=20
    xsl. My character set conversions are a bit more=20
    complicated than what PluggableCharacterSet provides=20
    because I have to change accented characters: =E1, =E9, =ED, =F3, =
=FA=20
    to their nearest form if the character set can't render=20
    them. The output of the example would be this: a, e, i, o,=20
    u. Where is the best place in saxon to do this conversion?.

For transformation to SSML, where such subtleties are not
wanted, this would be very useful!
  Is XSLT 2.0 right for this, in the output character map?
  Could be a huge map.
  Could be the same as is wanted here though.
