It would be very nice if HTML tag IDs were predictable,
and not generated. For instance, when newbie-Joe
complains on IRC about his program, I'd much rather be
able to point him to

http://python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs#input

instead of

http://python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs#l2h-38

or telling him to find it manually.

Sphinx does this right from the start.
