   if there is an id it uses the id, if not it creates a local class

   Recorded as your ruling: #name in a Style targets the element with id name if the file's View has one; otherwise it is a file-local class. A worker implements it in hl:webex and hl:web.

   Built (branch css-api, not merged yet): #name in a Style is the id name when the file's View writes id = 'name', otherwise the file-local class as before.

   Test:

   1. In a component with p { id = 'motto' … } in its View, add #motto { letterSpacing = '0.1em' } to its Style.
   2. Open /__hl/app.css: the rule is #motto { … }, and the p carries no extra class.

   Details:

   • Works in hl:web and hl:webex. The reference app's home page tests it.
   • Only an id written as text in this file's View counts (not one bound to a member, not one in a child's View).
