do toc numbers have to be sequential ?

I often delete chunks of an existing toc to remove unwanted pages/ matching toc entires from start/end of books & that seems to have no effect on remainder of book. It doesn't seems to matter if toc numbering starts not at 1 or if a later part is removed.

e.g. this toc now starts at 2 , but book is fine:
<navMap>

<navPoint class="chapter" id="prol_1" playOrder="2">
<navLabel>
<text>Prologue</text>
</navLabel>
<content src="Text/StraightIntoDa_prol_1.html"/>
</navPoint>
<navPoint class="chapter" id="part_1" playOrder="3">
<navLabel>
<text>Munich, 1929</text>
</navLabel>
<content src="Text/StraightIntoDa_part_1.html"/>
</navPoint>.....

this one starts at 105, then goes 1 thru 99, there is no 100.,101,102,103,104.
<navMap>
<navPoint class="chapter" id="cd587276-645c-4638-adde-7410bf5899f5" playOrder="105">
<navLabel>
<text>Cover</text>
</navLabel>
<content src="Text/dummy_split_106.html"/>
</navPoint>
<navPoint class="chapter" id="1f87fc56-2eb2-4723-be6c-bc4bb244aa42" playOrder="1">
<navLabel>
<text>Title Page</text>
</navLabel>
<content src="Text/dummy_split_000.html"/>
</navPoint>
