More or less. The header id syntax always puts the id value on the  
first line. :-)

If I'm not mistaken, most of the complains are about the  
inconsistencies between different implementations of the syntax,  
resulting, at least in part, of the lack of a precise and unambiguous  
grammar.

In the example above, I try to think of the ".html" as a file  
extension indicating the format of the code snippet and that using it  
as a class name in the HTML representation is just coincidental. I  
think it feels very natural that way.

I wouldn't recommend doing class names outside curly brakets in  
general. Only here, it fits pretty nicely.

What do other people think?
