First, is the getAddress() method on Annotation (derived from FeatureStructureImpl

serialization?
As far as I know the ids are re-mapped at least when the CAS is created
from an xmi file, so they will differ.
You can only assume that the Ids stay the same while the CAS is loaded
into memory, e.g. having features
which contain low level Ids would be a bad idea, since the ids will be
different when the CAS is serialized and created again.
If you need Ids per annotation or feature structure, you should give
them an id feature in the type definition,
then you can write your ids there.
