Comment(by winkey):

 creating invalid output is not good either

 it seems to me any objection to creating dummy id's would be that it
 blindly does so and you might be expecting different behaviour

 a switch to make the app generate them perhaps and a warning

 dont create the dbf file without them (no idea if this is a good idea or
 not)
