Hello Matt

I am raising these questions or bugs or even aberrations as a result of
my work on OpenOffice. 

IOW, I am not looking at 'using them as a feature' but to 'understand
them as a feature' and 'cross-checking' my OpenOffice's exporter against
the HTML exporter.

So the question of swithching to custom-ids doesn't arise in my case.
