Hi,
  in ox-html.el there's a line with an assert (the only one):

	   (assert (org-uuidgen-p path))


1.  I have some IDs like "o5y98600aze0" which don't conform to that uuidgen format; they were created by early versions of org. Should only UUIDs be accepted as ID?
2.  I think the ID should be editable by hand to what you like, as long as they are unique. If you don't need to export it you don't need a CUSTOM_ID, and having both ID and CUSTOM_ID is not the simplest way.

  So I think that assert is too strict. My short IDs seem as good as the long UUIDs.

There is ID and then there is CUSTOM_ID.  IIUC/IIRC, ID is a uuid and
CUSTOM_ID can be whatever.

Any reason why you cannot use CUSTOM_IDs here?

Yes. Why do you need the assert? It only seems to be there to make my
life more difficult.

I've remove the (assert ...) sexp, which was too strict, I agree.

Thanks,
