IME numeric identifiers are just asking for trouble. Some systems are sensitive to leading zeros, some systems will zero-pad, <input type="number"> loses zero-padding, etc. Worked with a client once with references to the same entity scattered across two databases, one of which zero-padded the identifiers and the other didn't. Oy vey.
