Even when you use quotation marks?

There is as you may need to put in segment IDs, but not much.

Why would you ever need to mess with segment IDs yourself?  To create or manually decipher something encoded with ordered chapters?  First is a copy paste operation, second is a ctrl+f operation, how readable the ID is doesn't matter too much in both cases.  (Besides, people who are doing such things shouldn't need to be accommodated for).
