No you didn't miss anything.  I'm just being conservative in trying to
limit the amount of headache caused to translators, especially given the
shorter-than-normal doc slush.  If there's no headache involved, I
withdraw my objections.

This may have to do with places where I put id attributes (for the 
purposes of making intra-document links, but having nothing to do with 
splitting the document).

Huh?

Sure, sounds good.

These are issues ultimately to be decided by webmaster@, but they sound
