[Hans]

I will try to answer some points myself here, but still would like
your comments,
especially about point 2.

It seems not ot apply to >>div<< type divisions.

A small change to the Cells function in stdmarkup.php will do this:
I propose to replace the last lines of the function

  } else {
    $out .= "<div $attr>";
    $cf[$key] = '</div>';
  }
  return $out;
}

with this:

  } else {
      if (!strstr($attr, "id=")) $out .= "<div id='$name' $attr>";
      else $out .= "<div $attr>";
    $cf[$key] = '</div>';
  }
  return $out;
}

Anyone who supports such a change to make ids easier in (:div:) markup?

I guess not with nested divs.
