How about / becomes -, and : just disappears?
I know ids are supposed to be unique, but I'd rather have the flexibility
of both class and id (ie, class specified manually, id generated
automatically).  sea:ids are supposed to be unique too, they just
never are in practice.  But in practice, browsers deal fine with
non-unique CSS ids too.  So I'm not sure whether we it's worth expanding
to class= instead of id=.

A bigger concern I have is name conflicts between subcomponents; since
they're all combined into one big HTML file, they lose any namespace
protection for ids and classes.  They could be prefixed, but that gets
messy.
