But not if the hierarchy is changed, and we would

Yes, all these are reasons why I don't like generating anchor names from
header text. :) Whatever you do, they remain fragile. Nice explicit

Does your current code ensure that anchor names only start with a letter a-
z? names starting with a number are illegal, and hyphen and underscore are
the only permissible punctuation.
