Probably I am too fixated with my use case, but I can't see any problem
here.

I agree that it's not something that you can keep in sync, but it's not
really interesting to me. I use GraphML to load a graph that has to be
analyzed, and I need the n0, n1, .. labels only to construct some
unit/regression tests on my program, where I use id to identify each vertex.

My suggestion to remove the warning when the two ids are the same stems
from the fact that you are reading from two *agreeing* sources the same
values. In that case the warning means only that you are reading two
sources. When the values are different, the warning means that you are
reading *different values* from two sources: that's more worthwhile of a
warning IMHO.

But I can surely live with the warning. It has never really bothered me
anyway.

Thanks for your great work and your attention.
Best,
