If I write in the documentation "Cross referencing with unique IDs is hard to document" do I then write ids IDs id's or ID'sIDs or ids is fine. id's and ID's is possessive (the ID owns something). I'd probably use IDs in this case.id is just short for identifier normally so ... unique identifiers is hard ...would also be fine.
I would suggest calling it a UID. As Bernt said using an apostrophe is incorrect in this case. I would also suggest doing it like this:
"Cross referencing with unique IDs (UID) is hard to document"I was always taught that you place the abbreviation in brackets after its definition, so the reader can easily find where it's defined.
