Could you explain this idea in a way that doesn't require diving into
the codebase to figure out what you mean? Cloaking the mapping of
local ids (e.g. auto incremented in the DB) to global ids ("model
names") seems to suggest a new way of making our system behave in an
inscrutable way.

That doesn't seem like a good model to emulate. We're not iana.org,
and we don't have anywhere near the rigor defined in IETF RFC 5226. I
may put further thoughts on this topic in the Interwiki map RFC
(T113034) task
