 when is this needed in a user context?

 I have clients with very large sites (non-blogs) where it is common
 practice to refer to content by ID. Said sites have many editors, and
 pages (and other content) are moved around quite often. That makes it
 nearly impossible to maintain thousands of internal links if they link by
 URL. So they link by ID using a custom shortcode, and then have the
 shortcode translate the ID into the real permalink. Links is just one
 example, there are many other use cases for referring to certain pieces of
 content where providing an ID is the only viable solution.
