Comment (by azaozz):

 Changing the IDs of all footers in the admin would certainly affect some
 plugins, things like `jQuery('#footer')...`, etc. However I think we can
 afford that early in the dev. cycle (i.e. now) as it follows our naming
 standards.

 However I don't think we need to try and fix duplicate names/IDs for
 widgets. Creating a widget or a widget area is similar to creating
 settings page for a plugin. The author would have to prefix all unique
 names/IDs as recommended in the codex. For widgets this is even more
 critical as they live on a page where (many) different plugins share the
 same name-space.
