References to sections with manually assigned section ids not shown

[sspeiche]

The test case I have shows simply where empty a tag reference to section doesn't resolve, see attached test case....

<title>Test</title> <script src='http://www.w3.org/Tools/respec/respec-w3c-common' async class='remove'></script> <script class='remove'> var respecConfig = { specStatus: "FPWD", shortName: "unicorn-dahuts", editors: [ { name: "Robin Berjon", url: "http://berjon.com/", company: "W3C", companyURL: "http://w3c.org/" } ], wg: "Cryptozoology Working Group", wgURI: "http://www.w3.org/2017/cryptozoology/", wgPublicList: "public-animals", wgPatentURI: "http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/424242/status", }; </script>

sec1

sec1 auto-assigned id

  <section>
     <h2 id='sec2'>sec2</h2>
     <p>sec2 manually-assigned id</p>       
  </section>

  <section>
    <h2>sec3</h2>
    <p>sec1 before a tag --}<a href='#sec1'></a>{-- sec1 after a tag</p>
    <p>sec2 before a tag --}<a href='#sec2'></a>{-- sec2 after a tag</p>

  </section>

So found out a little bit more regarding this problem, the current LDP spec had id attributes on the hN tags and not the section tags. This used to work. Should I expect this to work again or should I move my ids from my hN tags to my section tags?

Feel free to close if not a problem you want to fix, I have fixed up our editor's draft. It might be helpful to update the example and user's guide

Normally IDs on section elements are recommended, I wasn't aware that it used to work on hN elements (but it may well be the case). I don't feel a strong urge to fix this right now, but I will certainly take pull requests.
