Description
Reported by @pmitros: "To construct useful XBlocks, I need access to a unique ID per element. Cale mentioned this is available in self.scope_ids.usage_id. This is good and useful, but entirely undocumented."
@nedbat: "Yes, let's add this to the list of useful factoids that can be retrieved from the information service, along with student name, course name, etc."

Research direction
Start by locating self.scope_ids.usage_id and the information service mentioned in the issue. Check how existing facts such as student name and course name are exposed, then determine how the unique block ID should be made available and documented; done means the ID is retrievable through the agreed service and its usage is documented.
