If I have a simple template that looks like this

<template id="my-paragraph">
   <p id="foo">My paragraph</p>
</template>

When I clone the template multiple times I have multiple elements with 
the id of "foo".

So if the template I've be given to use is fairly large (with many 
elements with IDs) how would I use it? I suspect that before the clone 
is appended to the DOM I'll need to loop through all the elements and 
edit the IDs so that they are unique - which complicates referencing them.

Is this correct or am I misunderstanding how a is to be used template?
