It wasn't intended to be. The specifications don't say what a UA
!important rule means, anyway.

Why? There's no guarentee that ID isn't already used. What's the use case?
If the author really wanted that, he could just put an element inside the
repetition template with id="tmpl[id]", and navigate from that. Much more
likely is that the author wants one of the controls _inside_ the template,
and so that is what would have the ID attribute with [id].
