Unfortunately, this cannot be done with mere CSS because the XSL
transforms which generate the HTML output do not attach the "id" to a
block element, but rather to a zero-width inline element.  The latter
works pretty well for ensuring that the target begins within the visible
area of the browser canvas, but doesn't lend itself to decoration
whatsoever.

Your patch here is good.  Will apply/commit soon.
