Gui, one advantage of using css_id is that we store only 2 bytes of id
instead of 8 bytes of iocg* pointer (on 64bit). So saving of 6 bytes per
group. May be it is not a bad idea to keep the usage of css id around
because anyway we don't seem to gain much by getting rid of it.

So for the time being I tend to think that lets continue using css id.

Thanks
