Some time back it was noted that it might be
useful to be able to obtain the node which refers
to a particular id value.
This would be the reverse of id().
Returns a node list.
Use case.
In plain text or braille versions of a flowchart,
the required notation is
box-number (origin-of-link): box-content -> (target-of-link)
or for decisions
box-number (origin-of-link): box-content. Yes -> (target-of-link). No ->
(target-of-link).
I can find the target-of-link using id(@link)/@id
Today I can't find the nodelist which calls any particular box.
Could this be considered for a future version of XSLT.
(meanwhile maybe as an extension function Michael, James?)
