Default

I have added 'zonename_loottable_id' to the loottable.name in my editor. It uses that convention as default now, and allows you to change the default under tools menu.

As Sesmar mentioned, npc_id's are reused in many zones, so that convention in the tables is strictly for the datatable developers and may not apply to everyone. Also in the db, I see so many types of level 1 skeleton's it makes you understand why loottables and npc_id's should be shared. Although I do think Angelox's system of unique npc_id's for each specific zone is also a good idea to tracking and managing specific zone's mobs. I use both methods.
