Setting html special blocks id=name is problematic

Hi all,

the html exporter produces a div with id = name when the #+name property is
set for a special block. Since names are search targets they could be used
in links of the form [[name]]. Now this link will fail in the browser
because it will search for the internally generated id returned by
org-export-get-reference and there is no html element with this id in the
exported output. The problem I see here is that org searches for the link
target using the name property but produces html that searches for this
same target using a non-exported id instead. Given that there already is an
#+attr_html keyword to set the id property if so desired, wouldn't it be a
better idea to set the id property to the internally generated identifier
so links are able to resolve both in emacs and in the browser the same way?
I could write a simple patch but I would like to know your opinion on this
first.

Best regards
