I think the really important thing to point out is that
`xdl_classify_record()` ensures that the `ha` attribute is different for
different text. AFAIR it even "linearizes" the `ha` values, i.e. they
won't be all over the place but start at 0 (or 1).

So no, I'm not worried about collisions. That would be a bug in
`xdl_classify_record()` and I think we would have caught this bug by now.

Ah, thanks for that explanation. That addresses my collision concern from
earlier in the thread completely.
