Just out of interest, what value is attained from allowing id and class in wikitext?
class is useful for attaching styles in the style sheet.
id can be used to ad explicit anchor targets which can be specified in a link's fragment identifier.
Doesn't this allow people to create messed up pages by setting id="globalWrapper" or some such thing?
Sure, but that'd be a silly thing to do wouldn't it? ;)
Unique id verification will probably get added at some point for markup purity (a validator will complain at you if you have non-unique id attributes).
