Thanks for your trials.

I use writer2xhtml which is part of writer2latex and is quite different from writer2epub. But il also does not include any id in the p tag.

Designing a book with a particular viewer's idiosyncrasies in mind strikes me as a sure recipe for problems, however if the book is just for your own consumption then your rules apply.
Of course you are right.

It's good to know we have a solution that can be implemented easily if one considers this faulty display in the Viewer to be a serious problem but, if we were logical, this should also be applied recursively to all the other EPUB2 (and this would trigger problems because we would need a lot of different versions of the regex).

Basically, the point is that the code we are trying to mend is perfectly sound.

With the EPUB3 incoming, at least we know that a standard compliant code will work (as shown on nqk's first EPUB).
