Re: [whatwg] alternate ids for elements

I too have run into this (specifically wanting to preserve old deep-links) and think it would be reasonable, in theory.

However, in practice I see no reason for browsers to expend valuable engineering resources on this when an empty `<div>` (or, more traditionally, an empty `<a id=""></a>`) suffices to give the same functionality.
