It's helpful to think of 'id' as a public getter/setter definition (which is essentially the same as a [Bindable] public var definition) on the class represented by the containing mxml document. So it has to follow actionscript rules for naming a getter/setter (or variable). You cannot write code like this in actionscript:
[Bindable] publio var sidebar-menu:SideBarMenu; because '-' is not permitted in a variable name, so the compiler will let you know about that (however '_' is permitted). The DOM version of 'id' is coincidental here, and has different (more lenient) rules. For most Royale apps I don't see the need to propagate the id to the DOM. Usually I would use className to do some custom styling.
