Within the WWWJDIC system I could use a combination like that.
The CSV dump I download includes the IDs of both the Japanese
and English sentences. I chose to put the English one in the file,
as 90%+ of corrections from WWWJDIC users are for the English.
I could put a pair of sequence numbers in the file and also allow
a choice of whether to link to the English or the Japanese.

None of this changes how thing happen within the Tatoeba project,
but it would make a unique ID in the file used by WWWJDIC
