  Use some property of the input element to generate this ID.
Example:

<doc>
     <row/>
     <row/>
     <row>
	  <para/>
          <colum/>
          <colum/>
          <colum/>
          <colum>
	      <element_without_ID/>
	  </colum>
...

Associate it the following ID: SK_3_5_1 (child sequence when going from t=
he
root).
Both programs would compute the same ID since it's based on the structure
of the input document (shared). This is based on the child sequence mecha=
nism
of XPointer.

problem: it doesn't resist well to changes in the input, but in this case
	 I assume it's not a problem.
