I've encountered the same problem. The id atribute seems defined by the base tag classes rather than the display09 specific ones (I tried to overload it's accessors to no avail), and it seems it can't take a runtime expression.
My solution was to add a new attribute, tableid, and set that with an rt expression. The new attribute is used in addition to id & name to identify the table in question. I'd be interested to here what other peoples opinions of my design are. I needed a quick fix - there may be a better solution.

Can anyone help me out here?
