It was an assumption I wanted to avoid setting in stone, even though at 
the moment it is actually true in implementation.

The mappings are driver-specific but I wanted to leave open, amoung 
other things, the possibility of string-id mappings being standardised 
across all drivers. For that to work drivers would have to be able to 
use a set of ids that may contain gaps.
