 Agreed, but that's the inherited problem with HTML IDs when dynamically
 generating it from many different PHP functions: in some cases IDs can be
 repeated which breaks the DOM.

 IMHO best option is to use (plugin unique) class names and target them
 after looking at the DOM, i.e. limiting the DOM range.
