I may add that I have by far not fixed all of the problems with

more but I haven't gotten around to commintting them all (and frankly
I'm scared of the compatibility effects of doing so).

Also be aware that using id-attributes can have some very unpleasant side
effects:

- processing will add an anchor (<a name="{id}"> to each element that uses id 
(in
  theory to support referencing). However in most cases that anchor is
  not needed and sometimes it results in rather strange html-code.

- as another side effect of this Internet Explorer gets confused when looking 
for
  an id'd element with JavaScript's document.getElementById because it
  prefers elements with a matching name="" to elements with the (correct)
  id="".

Thanks for the heads up.

So perhaps it is time rethink this whole topic of processing id's
for local menues since most of the goals can be achieved
in other, cleaner ways.

Suggestions welcome (via dev list). Personally I don't use HTML sources so I doubt I can contribute meaningfully to the discussion, I'm sure others can though.
