I think I think that duplicate ids should be an error?

(I have found that explicit ids are usually better thought out than auto ones.  Having long ones is
bad for the tiresome business of creating links).

New scoping rules are a significant change, but we can cope with that for their utility.

:-(   This is a feature I often would like (and also in tables).
