The same problem happens with non-English content (more exactly, when
cleanID() does not produce a legal entry for the HTML "id" tag -- like
cyrillic, hebrew, arabian, far eastern, etc.).
There are probably two ways to solve this:
1) complicate cleanID() so that it would do language-specific transliteration;
2) use generic non-intuitive names like hd1, hd2,....
Or a combination of these two: generic names when bad simbols are
present and no better option is provided, trasliteration when
available.
As to option (1), WackoWiki, for example, uses automatic
trasliteration of cyrillic for its page id's -- this also results in
nice human-readable URL's.
