Could this concept be possible on the fly in a single stylesheet.
Basically, a stylesheet that would do matches on all elements which are used
in generating the TOC (ie <title>) and despite its XML id value, assign one
via the stylesheet as a temporary id in order to generate a valid TOC and
leave the XML as-is?

David,
One approach, I have used in a slightly similar situation is first to create
a merge stylesheet, which prefix each id with a unique tag for each book.
I merged a number of books into a set. So all ids in a book was prefixed
with bk1- for the first book etc. You can see the result in the generated
HTMLHelp, which consist of a number of books.
See: http://nc3ta.nc3a.nato.int/website/book.asp?menuid=15&vs=0
