Hi Kito,
Ughh, as you pointed out the client id is already there. My brain just 
stopped working :(.
However I still want to mark this issue as "Won't fix" as there is no 
way of knowing how a specific component is being rendered and which HTML 
element corresponds to the client id of the component. And no I don't 
want to make any assumption on how it is structured.
Thoughts?
