Yeah, <sect1> IDs propagate into HTML page names.

I think that's a really bad idea.

Well, this is a question for the www list not here.  It might be a lot
easier for them to support a redirect that works the same across all
branches ... or then again, maybe not.  But we have to have a redirect,
else external links pointing at this page will be broken.

We have done page renames with redirects in the past, if memory serves,
so it's possible.  But I don't know details.
