Currently the jump bar displays the contents of each <h2> block. On pages such as https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Date_and_time_formats (but lots of pages are like this), the result is a jump bar with a log of really long links in it.

It would be much better if we could set secondary names for headers to be used in the jump bar. This could be done, for example, by using a data-* attribute, such as:

<h2 id="Format of a global date and time string" data-jumpname="Global date/time">
  Format of a global date and time string
</h2>

Then the value of data-jumpname, "Global date/time", would be used in the jump bar instead of the much longer "Format of a global date and time string". So much better!
