Well, a class is not unique, so how were you thinking to target an
individual element / swf on the page? We need a unique DOM id for doing
things like ExternalInterface calls to/from the swf file, and being able to
target removing alternate content etc.
Also how is it that ids cannot be fully trusted? The whole DOM thing kinda
relies on the fact that it does work :)
RE: Generating id's / elements:
// client side
var div = jQuery('<div>Some text</div>').addClass('foo').attr('id', 'bar');
div.appendTo(document.body);
// or use a serverside language like php.
it is really not very hard...
SWFObject is open source, so if you feel you want to make a mod to suit your
own needs.
