Maybe. I am not sure that you want the ID (I mean the value of attribute
of type ID), but the gi (general identifier).
Anyway, you can get both. The specification says :

<spec>
10.2.4.1. Navigation

(ancestor string osnl)
.../...
(gi osnl)

Returns the value of the gi property of the node contained in osnl or #f
if osnl is empty or if osnl has
no gi property or a null gi property. 
.../...
(id osnl)

Returns the value of the id property of the node contained in osnl or #f
if osnl is empty or if osnl has no id property or a null id property.
</spec>

Could this help you ?
Jany.
