You are right, but 1 of my main goals for this project is to have the prose 
text as readable as possible.

Yea, it would be nice to have a 2 configuration tiddlers, that can 
initialize the IDs at wiki startup. ... I don't want to read these tiddlers 
with every occurrence of the  \customize pragma. This can considerably slow 
down this parser. 

But it would allow users to create their own IDs. 

THE downside of this approach is: It may create a new Tower of Babel.
