I've received the reply.  I quote the answers below.


Regarding $Id line:

Regarding index hyperlinks in hyperref:

Regarding his document `alphalph.pdf':

So it actually _was_ a non-standard trick.  I downloaded the
sources and glanced through them, but they did not make much
sense to me, I am not a LaTeX guru (or even a LaTeX user).
I hope I can sort it out later, but I believe that since the
method used in `alphalph.pdf' did not become `standard' in
hyperref, it was not generic enough, so we wouldn't be able
to use it in Eplain neither.  Well, so far it is just a wild
guess.
