 all-caps identifiers to prevent name clashes (SGML ids are case-insensitive).
 (It basically never is the case that mixed-case identifiers would collide.)
 
+Unfortunately we create ambigous ids. The document structure ids are e.g.
+GtkWidget.{top_of_page,synopsis,object-hierarchy,...}
+and that is ambigous with eventual structure memeber of the same name.

 In 1.x we add :CAPS as a suffix to avoid clashes between lower and uppercase
 constructs. XML-IDs are not case insensitive, so we don't need that.
