[Xerte] setting id

[Paul Swanson]

It should be possible to create unique IDs when duplicating. Would
something like the following work if entered as the id property?

myId + iconParent.repCount

If my syntax is correct, you should end up with different IDs for each
page of the decision icon: myId1, myId2, etc.
