Hi,

With the neccessity (as pointed out by Geir) for IDs for identifying the
area of the page that contains content (for script performance etc) -- and
with a drive for greater semantic sensibility -- I propose a new set of
generated IDs.

These IDs, prefixed with 'region-' will identify what were formally known
as 'slots'. Regions can be nested (as in a region can contain other
regions in a well-defined way). Examples of regions include #region-top
(replacing the unsemantic #portal-top), #region-columnone and
#region-main (which can be used for identifying page content for script
purposes.

These IDs should be on the top level below <body>. In other words, nothing
should be outside a region (even if regions contain other regions).

Comments and suggestions welcome.
