Isn't there already a convention, indeed a W3C standard, for marking 
up contact details for the page author? The <address> element.
However, I can certainly see the benefit of adding id attributes in 
other situations.

Could there even be a case for defining specific id values as having 
specific meaning within the spec itself, if a convention did arise?
