Hi Peter, Nicolas,
one disadvantage of applying this patch would be that existing links
to sections in HTML pages would become invalid. For the rest, I don't care.
Thinking more about this, I think that people who want permanent
links to sections in HTML pages will use CUSTOM_ID rather than relying on section
numbers.
OK, I am applying Nicolas' patch.

P.S. I think it counts as a bug in the syntax package, that it makes labels with
underscore invalid. Maybe you could investigate this and submit a bug report?
