Duplicate IDs in xform

I've created a small javascript library to load Eclipse BIRT reports via an
IFrame in XForms.  I've run into a problem though as the parameters to the
reports are hidden xhtml:input parameters and I need to use a value from one of
my instances.  Seeing no way to do this, I changed the parameters to be
xforms:input with style set to display:none.  However, when the parameters were
xhtml:input, it was legal for them to have the same name attribute;  with
xforms:input, there is no name attribute, just ID, and this must be unique.  If
I change the IDs to be unique, the reports don't work because the name
attributes of the input elements outputted by Orbeon do not match what the
report expects!  

Changing the report parameters to have different names (for example, if two
reports have a parameter named 'hours', name the parameter in report #1 to be
'report1_hours' and the parameter in report #2 to be 'report2_hours' won't
work because I am reusing the same reports to display different data.

I wanted to ping the list and see if there is any solution before I totally
rework parameter passing.

Any thoughts?

I don't get that part. Could you give us an example?

The XForms engine translates xforms:input into an HTML input, which  
will have both @id and @name attributes.
