Id's aren't anything like properties, so I think you mean ids *cannot*
be simply assigned like other properties. I would like to be proven
otherwise, but I don't think it's possible to give an element an id. I
would think that after object creation, bindings have already been
setup based on the ids in the scope chain and it's too late to give an
id after all that. Maybe it makes sense to give an id to
createComponent().
