Great. I wanted to know if it was permanent, so I can change my code
to handle the new format, or if it had been just a temporary thing,
wait it out.

I think it's a good idea to include ID's for the sentences and I'll
probably make use of them myself in the future. Although it would be
appreciated if format changes were announced a few days in advance
here on the mailing list :)
