Should the sendCommandWithID() methods be public?

These allow the user to override the tag generation, or even send invalid tags.

I think it would be better to reserve these for internal use.

If a use case for them is found later, the visibility can be changed back. 
But reducing visibility breaks binary compatibility - best to start with 
minimal visibility (and mutabiliy) and relax as necessary later.
