 modify this page.

 I'm not sure why we have these IDs there in the first place. Seems the
 user cases are to facilitate either highlighting specific plugin (i.e.
 make one plugin look "special") or hiding the info about installed/active
 plugin(s).

 Don't like the idea of the first one and thinking the second one may have
 security implications.

 In any case, in order to fix the originally reported problem we will have
 to either change or remove the IDs. But if we are changing them (which
 would require plugins that use them to be updated) may as well remove them
 and add classes.
