I think you asked for it, by passing it in the array in the second parameter to $this->Form->create. It appears, based on reading the code of cake/libs/view/helpers/form.php and based on the example you provided, that any unknown parameters in the options array are passed through as HTML attributes of the form tag. Check the documentation: "id" and "controller" are unknown parameters in the options array.

http://book.cakephp.org/view/183/Creating-Forms

Assuming you meant for the id to be passed through to the HTML form element, and that you meant for the form's action to go to the CakePHP URL corresponding to the registration action of the users controller, I think you meant:

<?php echo $this->Form->create('User', array('id' => 'Registration', 'url' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'registration'))); ?>

That's assuming you're not already in the users controller now. If you already are, then just don't specify the controller:

<?php echo $this->Form->create('User', array('id' => 'Registration', 'action' => 'registration')); ?>
