I would have to strongly discourage using the ID attribute. One of the
principles of microformats is to be easy to implement in existing
content. This works well with the class, rel, and rev attributes since
these can handle multiple values. ID cannot, to implement this
collection format, people may need to modify the IDs they are already
using and, as far as HTML goes, update their CSS and JavaScript as
well.
