To expand on this (for those that don't subscribe to amrita-users), the 
following methods can be used:

  (1) keep_id

      If you set this options of Amrita::Template object like     

         template.keep_id = true

      amrita dose not delete id attributes.

   (2) amrita_id

       If you set a name of attribute to this option, amrita use the
       attributes with that name for template expansion.

   (3) escaped_id

       If you set a name of attribute to this option, amrita will
       convert the attribute of that name to 'id=' for output.
