Yep, got that, all understood. But I think you're missing my point. Let me
try again...
When you create Tiddler A with <$edit-text id="whatever" ...> and you
subsequently RE-USE that content via transclusion in Tiddler B {{Tiddler
A}} then you will have broken the rules -- there will be TWO elements with
id="whatever" in the document.
*The id attribute MUST be unique across the document* (not including any
sub docs, like iframe documents).
I suspect Jeremy doesn't use ids for this very reason.
Unless you're happy creating tiddlers that cannot be used in the normal
way, sorry, but this is very likely a non-starter.
The spec: *When specified on HTML elements
<https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/infrastructure.html#html-elements>,
the id <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#the-id-attribute>
attribute value must be unique amongst all the IDs
<https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-id> in the element's tree
<https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-tree> and must contain at least one
character. The value must not contain any ASCII whitespace
<https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#ascii-whitespace>. *
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#the-id-attribute
MDN: *The id global attribute
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/global_attribute>
defines an identifier (ID) which must be unique in the whole document. *
