That's 2005-vintage XHTML-ish markup. You wouldn't write it today. No
reason the id can't be on the heading.

Except that avoiding a compile (transform) step for you comes at the
cost of making *every* requestor do it client-side, right? Every
requestor on every page load, every time. With so many easy-to-use

... it's wasteful to claim client-side CPU for what you could have
done once, in seconds. Capisce? :)
