To clarify what bugs me is, that you are basically suggesting that the id can be included via
include path, but can never be used via the depth approach. 

One option we have not discussed yet, is an additional method on @indexedEmbedded. 
Something like includeEmbeddedId. Default would be false. If you set it to true, the id is
included. It makes id inclusion orthogonal to depth and includePath.
