Thank you for pointing out that some ad blockers filter out elements with the
id "ad".  Ouch.

Has this been an issue for you, or for readers you have encountered? Or is this
in some sense a possible problem rather than a current issue for you?  (I'm
trying to weigh the problem of the ad blockers against the likelihood that if
we change the ID of a component we will unintentionally break something in the
spec.)
