Bug Description
Currently, when someone exports layers using the svg export, id's are somehow random. SVG supports the specification of an id per element or group, and it would make sense to set it to a predictable value, namely the net class or module reference (depending on the layer).
This would allow 3rd-party applications to have semantic information in the vector graphic which could then be then used for highlighting, net-based difftools, or linking schematic with the board svg output for example.

Note that we'd need to use either class attributes or data-* attributes. IDs must be unique within an XML document.
