The point is that generate-id() is not a random string
generator. It generates an ID based on a node, always the
same ID for the same node. If you call it without argument,
the context item is used (which is indeed not possible in a
function definition).
If you can't use extension functions nor pass a reference
node to the function, I'm afraid you are out of luck here.
