I've never cared that the ID field was not human friendly.

But I've just learned about the Estimate Table where you can see 
your estimates and actual clock time to complete tasks. If you want 
to see the estimates for the current tree, you need to know the ID, 
which is not human friendly.

It seems like with IDO mode, the first few characters or words of 
the title, stripped of whitespace, could be pre- or ap- pended onto 
the ID, and then it would be easy to select IDs. If this were how 
IDs were created, would this break some other features? Do others 
see this as a good or bad thing? Or is there some other way to tell 
the Estimate Table to work on the local tree.

Cheers,

   -k.
