Joel, I think most browsers just ignore the id's and so should work
regardless. How about if I work up an example of different question

Better still, I'm not sure I understand why inheritance is needed--or,
what are you trying that can't be achieved with a class declaration?

too concerned; and I would have a cup of coffee, and I'd find my 
surroundings quite amusing and people would ask me which were my favorite
