It's semantic tags or on this MDN page, Content Sectioning.

Yes the ID attribute is a Global attribute - according to MDN

Global attributes are attributes common to all HTML elements; they can be used on all elements, though the attributes may have no effect on some elements.

An ID attribute can be used on any HTML element — no spaces or multiple words.

Some examples:

 <section id="about"></section>

 <section id="aboutSection"></section>
