Indeed - changing it now and changing it back again later would
really confuse users.
When this was designed it was done in a way that 
a. we would be able to uniquly identify outputs.
b. provide useful information to the user.
The uniqueness is relevant for the user so that he can use names for
outputs (with xrandr). Internally (in the protocol) only XIDs are
used. 

Cheers,
        Egbert.
