Correct. Even sync won't change it. In fact there can even be records
with *identical* IDs, though this would be a very bad idea because it
would break the sync mechanics.

Whatever you prefer. There is no ordering rule for record IDs. You can
set it to any unused ID actually.

The ID is an unsigned three-byte value.
