Stability of book URLs

Currently, URLs to parts of the book suffer from a stability problem.

If we add or delete sections (or worse, chapters!), then many URLs pointing 
to specific sections will be broken.


To fix this, I propose the following:

Step 1: Enable the parameter "use.id.as.filename"
This will cause each file produced in the chunked HTML to take a name based 
on the id attribute of the XML element which caused the chunk, instead of 
the plain sequential system used currently.

Step 2: Migrate the values of id attributes away from the primarily 
numerical system in use now, instead using descriptive names.


Max.
