This is probably good practice anyway.  Not only for readability, but also 
just to segment the ID namespace to avoid collisions.  For instance, if you 
have a chapter on filesystem hierarchies and a figure within that chapter, 
it's easier if you have <chapter id="ch-hierarchy"> and <figure 
id="fig-hierarchy">; you can use the obvious and intuitive name for an ID 
without as many collisions.  Just don't, as one major DocBook-based 
publisher is wont, use <chapter id="ch1">.  That's just wrong.
