why not use MRID as SVG id?

[VladimirAlexiev]

A resource with MRID f1769930-9aeb-11e5-91da-b8763fd99c5f is represented in the SVG with id idf1769930_45_9aeb_45_11e5_45_91da_45_b8763fd99c5f i.e.

• the word id is prepended
• - is replaced with the code _45_

To enable scenarios where the user clicks on a diagram element then asks questions about the corresponding PSR, it will be easier if the SVG id is nearly the same as the MRID.

• CIM XML already uses a convention like rdf:about="#_f1769930-9aeb-11e5-91da-b8763fd99c5f where _ is prepended
• I'm not sure what is the syntax of SVG id's; Gemini tells me "begins with a letter (A-Z or a-z) and can be followed by any number of letters, digits (0-9), hyphens (-), underscores (_), colons (:), and periods (.)" but I'm pretty sure it can begin with _

Is it possible to use _<mrid> as the id?

(Note: in our case the semantic URNs are urn:uuid:f1769930-9aeb-11e5-91da-b8763fd99c5f but it's still easier not to deal with the code _45_)
