This is perfectly acceptable. The numbers do not need to be consecutive 
(as seen in the demo project).

Good question. The node IDs are stored as int on the C side and as 
double on the Lua side, so that should allow you 1 to 2147483647 on a 
typical 32-bit platform. Unless there are any other limitations in the 
code that I've missed right now. However, there are no checks for this, 
so using higher numbers might get you unpredictable results.

Zero and negatives are reserved for internal use (main menu, Lua command 
line, etc.).

It actually isn't (at least not clear enough). I'll add a note about it.
