phpxmldb does something akin to this with RecordIds.  You might want to have
a look at it.

Essentially though you just get the last item id, and add one.  Nothing more
clever than that.

If you build your own super class on top of Php.XPath, then you can
create/override the AddRecord() methods to do the work for you.
