Accessibility/SEO and IDs?

Is there any reason (other than to make your own work/maintenance easier) to
use semantic IDs on your webpages?

In other words, does <div id="header"> benefit anyone other than the coder
over <div id="h">?

I'm all for cutting down on any bytes that don't need to be sent to the
browser, and if working by myself I'd quickly get used to shorthands like
this, and they wouldn't proove to be a maintenance headache at all, for me.

But is there a benefit to longer IDs?  Will search engines pick up on <ul
id="list_of_shopping"> or is <ul id="l"> just as good?

cheers

Seb
