That's neat.

But you would also have to match the ids in the html with other code 
that depend upon on those ids such js and css.

However, that should be pretty simple to do using php's uniqid() 
which would guarantee that no two id's would be the same and could 
create all the css and js code at the same time.

The result from uniqid () comes in two flavors 13 characters and 32 
characters long -- and is advertised as "very difficult to predict".

Interesting idea.

Thanks,
