Which Web site?
Comment 2 moz-ian 2015-01-12 15:32:46 UTC 
They are referring to how the id of the last updated header on every page of the HTML spec is "living-standard-—-last-updated-[date:-01-jan-1901]"

<h2 id="living-standard-—-last-updated-[date:-01-jan-1901]" class="no-num no-toc">Living Standard — Last Updated <span class="pubdate">8 January 2015</span></h2>
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2015-01-13 23:08:37 UTC 
IDs are opaque strings. They don't claim anything.

Changing the ID would break links (e.g. the link in this bug).
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2015-05-05 21:25:42 UTC 
I've changed the ID. If the ID is missing, you go to the top of the page, which is basically where this header is anyway.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r8891.
Check-in comment: Minor fixes: make the ID for the <h2> saner, make the ID for the drag event section saner, fix some IDL syntax error
