Great, you found my cookbook! :)
There is a small typo, the "/" should be "."; the correct URL is:

http://doccookbook.sourceforge.net/html/en/dbc.html.permalinks.html

In that case, I think you've hit a bug in my stylesheet(s). I will look
into the issue and come back to you later.

Well, a permalink is a constant string which is immune to reordering or
restructuring of your document.

The best approach that fits into this requirement is your own IDs.

With the "use.id.as.filename" parameter you can create stable filenames
as well.

I'm not aware of any better approach.
