Somehow original patch didn't appear (yet) on git mailing list;
perhaps it ran afoul vger anti-SPAM filter...

I like the idea, and I think this can be seen as beginning to use
either microformats, or RDFa.  You have marked those fragments for CSS
to show or hide; microformats are about marking those fragments for
machine to parse.  Although microformats usually use 'class' (or 'rel'
for links), not 'id' attribute for classifying data...
