I always prefer using ids for unique elements, so I see your point. But 
I'm not sure if it's worth adding to the spec. Note that chaining 
wouldn't work (as in "html5 copyright"), but then again, I don't like 
that approach anyway.

It isn't, see Ian's survey.
But even if it was, that wouldn't matter as the goal is to standardize 
semantically meaningful names.
