In addition to fathernitwit's 3 points, your suggestion really isn't needed except for factions or for a custom database. Spell IDs are pulled right from the two spell files in your EQ client's dir, and item IDs are collected right from live. As long as you are using an item databse collected from Live data, you are fine.
My belief is this project is about creating software that closely resembles Live. Adding this change will not help with that AND may cause the server software to slow down which is never good.
