Interesting. Just a thought: have you considered computing a SHA-2 hash
over either the totality of the heading and all its children (if you
want the links to change when the content changes), or only the heading
itself (keeping the id invariant for as long as the heading remains
unchanged, but content below it can change)?

This would have the advantage of solving both, your "noise issue" and at
the same time removing the threat of id collisions; but at the cost of
not having "speaking" links.


Hoping to have helped,
