trying to reduce the extent to which the plugins i use have been modified, to ease deployment issues...( should probably learn SVK - somehow i think my hacks to allow geocoding in cartographer (before google supported it officially), add id''s to table stuff in markaby, or make acts_as_authenticated work with drupal userbases wouldn''t be useful patches for other people) so XHTML really doenst allow id''s on table rows? are you really supposed to do document.table[1].row[3] or something? for me its much easier to refer to them by ActiveRecord ID than some starting_from_0_and_totally_unrelated thing..
