I'm for adding an ID. That seems like the most safe option to me.

Note that the ID is not part of the mediated invitation format defined in XEP-0045, and it's unclear how existing MUC servers would handle the new attribute: I expect that MUC servers would ignore the 'id', rendering it useless for quite some time, or might even return a bad-request error (since the 'id' attribute is undefined according to the schema they were coded against). And clients would ignore it, too. Better, I think, to match against the inviter's JID, or at least use that as the fallback if the 'id' is missing.
