Change the replacement punctuation from "[id]" to "-.id.-" or ":-id-:" or
something like that. This has two advantages:
a) The combination of that very unusual punctuation sequence (both
opening and closing) /and/ an exact match of the template ID is
going to be so rare as to be practically ignorable.
b) ID and NAME attributes using the replacement mechanism can still
be valid.
