And they are not. But they may not depend on particular details of
concrete TO. For example, I have one DS on one corporate site with eight
TOs. It all perfectly works. There are no DS dependencies on template
file structure. Template files are very different but mapping rules work
well for all of them because both DS structure and template structure
was well thought and designed.

If you can put tag to DS, it does not mean that DS know about template.
Generally, the less specific tag you put - the better. Tags should be
used in cases like img:attr:src or img:outer or a:attr:href. Having
div:inner is possible but limits template structure quite a lot. So
personally I consider it bad.

So, all your template must have this #id or you will not be able to map
that element. Does not sound as a good solution to me.
