If they're non-deterministic, I don't see the benefit. In a link, I won't 
be able to freely target a para with an id that's been auto-generated 
(which will also likely have a different id, "next time").

Again, I don't see the benefit. I suspect (can't prove) that's too much 
auto-rewiring to do as the document is being used.

I believe that's what the qualify macro is for/why it is needed - get 
around/obviate the need/lack of ids.

No? I'd appreciate a link if you find it.
