From the docs:

This library is a complete alternative to HTML and CSS.

So the intention is to avoid using HTML/CSS. The fact that elm-ui is currently is implemented via HTML/CSS (and not WebGL for example) is an implementation detail, not a first-class feature. Therefore, there is no place for id in the API.

In any case, we can currently do:

id : String -> Element.Attribute msg
id =
    Html.Attributes.id >> Element.htmlAttribute
