sorry, i meant both -> file names and id tags. just as you i think they

I fear the one-word variant will not always work (e.g. when the word
itself is composed of two words like 'mouse-over', or if the identifier
would not be clear/unique). But I agree a less verbose variant is easier

In CSS underscores are not allowed for class ids. But that's no problem
as long as our section-ids won't be transformed to CSS class ids -> I
guess that won't be the case, so I would prefer the underscores if no
one else has objections.
