The HTML of the WebGL1 spec was mostly written by hand. It contains a few actual definitions that follow the definitions data model, but it also defines ~15+8 anchors for IDL attributes and methods that do not. These anchors are typically used in BCD. A new pre-processing step was added to turn these anchors into proper `<dfn>` tags in WebGL1. As with SVG 2, that pre-processing step needs to parse the IDL to scope definitions properly (the prose is clunky, see inline comments in the code). Similarly, a couple of headings have an additional anchor that is more human-friendly than `5.2` and that BCD typically targets. These IDs are now captured in the `alternateIds` array.
