Comment:

 The problem for me of switching to ids from slugs is that IDs are fragile
 and slugs are not.

 If someone has safe slugs then they should be in the classes so that
 themes can be written against them.

 If we need an extra column in the db to store the calculated safe slug for
 css class names then so be it but putting the IDs in just encourages
 people to code against them and they are not guaranteed to be consistent
 accross multiple installs where you might want to use the same css.
