It's possible to do common attribute "id" uniq not for all document, in some levels only ?
No, the id values must be unique to the whole document you are parsing.
Then authors of modular documents must to use long name values for id's. And this names will depend of document's structure :( Ok.
Having seen what docbook stuff uses, I steal those ideas.
E.g. a chapter on subject pages,
<chapter id='pgs'>
then
<example id='pgs.ex.1'>
etc,
so the names relate to the subject?
Yes, but for separated documents we must to use:
id="full.path.with.sub.parts.of.set.document-name.pgs.ex.1"
for it be unique.

In DocBook DTD "idref" attributes point to "id" which must exist, right?
Yes, at parse time.
It's possible to add element, which will control situation when "id" not exist in current edition ? "id" may be visible after join of documents.
No. Its an error if the id does not exist at parse time.
Perhaps olink would help.

Thanks, I'm already trying to use olink.
