Section 5.4 of XPath requires that every element have its own set of namespace 
nodes. Thus, the IDs returned from generate-id() must be different for different
elements, even when the namespace nodes are the result of a single namespace
declaration. Apparently, the gold file of idkey31 was placed to quiet the test
framework, but it has repeated values and is therefore wrong. The better
approach is to exclude the test from automated runs.

On the other hand, there probably is no real-world use for this rule with
respect to generate-id().
