[docbook] biblio database duplicate id in sets


Hello, I am new to DocBook; please bear with me. I am looking for some help using Bibliography databases while processing a set of books. Using Bob Stayton's book, DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide, chapter 12, Bibliographies as a guide, I have sucessfully setup a "bibliographic database" where the bibliography of a single book uses empty bibliomixed tags with ids matching a biblioentry in the bibliographic database. I set the bibliography.collection param to point to the master bibliography xml file during the build.

Everything works when processing a single book. However, when I process a *set* of books where one or more books' bibliographies happen to have a bibliomixed element with the same id (to reference the biblioentry in the bibliographic database),

1) the set itself will not validate because of "duplicate IDs" (using xmllint) and

2) while chunking the set proceeded without error, Fop processing stopped dead with an error when it discovered duplicate IDs in the fo file (using xsltproc -> fo and Fop -> pdf).

I like the "bibliographic database" concept, but what I am missing to get this to work with sets? Am I limited to processing only at the book level? Thanks in advance for any pointers.
