It is not safe! Plugin is still beta...
I expect in a final implementation that
the codebase will look like this:
codebase="rebol.cab#version=1,2,3,4"
where "rebol.cab" remains constant, and only the
version changes.
The object ID isn't necessary for the running
of the embedded rebol script, except where
the script needs to access some of the parameters
supplied in the object tag.
Theoretically, (and I hope this will happen,) several
plugins can exist on the one page. Therefore, each one
can be identified by a different object ID, and two
instances of a plugin script can each figure out
that they indeed belong to a different object.
So my answer:
- the object ID doesn't matter, except if the rebol script
needs to access it.
- I recommend using the latest version of the .cab file that
you can find. When it comes time to report errors, you can
say you are using the latest version.
