IDs

[David Blankman]

IDs should be required otherwise there is no way to reference the
modules when packaging them into a single eml file. The only IDs that
could be optional are ones that are not going to have to be referenced,
however, I do not know of any way to make that determination. If there
is a module that does not need to be referenced, then it probably
shouldn't be independent.
