Description

http://tapestry.apache.org/ajax-and-zones.html
In Zone Limitations says:

Unlike many other situations, Tapestry relies on you to specify useful and unique ids to Zone components, then reference those ids inside EventLink (or ActionLink, or Form) components. Using Zone components inside any kind of loop may cause additional problems, as Tapestry will uniqueify the client id you specify (appending an index number).

Using a generated "id" attribute allows you to control the id of the zone in the page.
