At present you can only pass textual IDs of host elements when creating a gauge component. This makes it difficult to use the library in modern "ID-less" development paradigms where no elements are given any sort of ID. In particular, it impedes creation of MVVM databindings for things like Knockout.js. I'm sure there are other use cases where you would want to pass an DOM element object, like for instance the result of a jQuery selector or and element created in code,
