I'm not doing a lot of extra diddling of the xhtml/xml that KindleUnpack extracts from a binary Kindlebook. The plugin is intended to get the kindlebook into Sigil as an editable Epub with as little modification as possible. From there it's up to the user to get it all cleaned up and compliant.

Changing an xhtml id would require parsing every single xhtml file and css file to determine if the id was used in a link or a css selector that would need to be subsequently updated.

KindleUnpack devs probably won't be very receptive to the idea either. Mainly because KindleUnpack is used to inspect/study the contents of Kindlebooks. As such, it tries very hard not to change anything it doesn't have to.
