In the short term we need to wrap each section

Yeah, I understand that we can now transclude sections of other pages.
But if it's controlled by section heading or section number, that's a
method very prone to breaking. Also, it would be good to be able to
demarcate sections of a page *other* than through headings, if
possible.
Do you have any proposed syntax or other solution?
Well, my snap reaction is 'microformats'.
If you're going to try to make picking a section out of a different
page reliable, then neither section number nor name seems like a good
choice of (sub-)address; one is an accident, and the other intended for
humans.
I think that there should be some way (and perhaps this is as easy as
puting an "<a href="thisisatag"> link in after the section header.
Isn't there some pipe-y syntax that already does something akin to this
and tracks the section header?
