+The PHP Manual is complex, and uses `xml:id`s extensively, for various

 * **XInclude IDs:** IDs that are used as target of XIncludes.
 
-Structural IDs are in the pattern `id.id`, while XInclude IDs use the
-pattern `structural.id..local.name`. That is, Structural IDs, the
-name parts are separated with a single dot, while XInclude IDs start
-with an Structural ID, an `..` separator, and a local path suffix.
+Structural IDs are in the pattern `id.id` (always one dot as separator),
+while XInclude IDs use the pattern `structural.id..local.name`. That is,
+for Structural IDs the name parts are separated with a *single* dot, while
+XInclude IDs are composed of an Structural ID prefix, a *double* dot separator,
+and a named suffix.
+
+The `configure.php` script will remove any duplicated IDs found. Without
+warnings in the case of XInclude IDs, so it is possible to use XInclude
+IDs elsewhere, and will warn about duplicate Structural IDs.
