Honest, I tried to ignore this question, but that little spot that hides behind the back of my brain wouldn't let me. Historical accident, I think. We reserved the first 1000 valid ids (1 to 1000) for the standard icons, cursors, patterns, and brushes. So stacks used to start at 1001 when dishing out ids and incremented this value *after* creating an object. Then we changed the behavior of stacks so that their id property was the id of the most recently created object (to simplify the SC converter, as I recall), which pushed everything up by one.
