[Bug documentation/11077] New: URLs in the HTML documentation are not meaningful

[dmalcolm at redhat dot com]

Looking up information in the online documentation, I see URL fragments like 
this:
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/langref/node6.html#SECTION000612000000000000000

These URLs are not human-readable, and are fragile; they will change when new 
content is added above them in the source file.

The above URL would be better as something like:
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/langref/ProbePoints.html#PointerTypecasting

This would be human-readable, more robust in the face of editing, and be more 
likely to show up in search engines.

It looks like you're using DocBook to generate these docs.  I think you can fix 
this by adding "id" attributes to the relevant <section> tags.
