As far as I can tell there's no way for either users or plugin authors to make use of series ID numbers from metadata sources. Please correct me if I'm wrong. While this feature may not be terribly helpful with novels, it would be life-saving for periodicals such as comic books (I first brought it up in the Comicvine plugin thread). It would allow us to edit metadata in bulk on large series, add the series ID, and then fetch the correct metadata for series with similar names and/or conflicting naming conventions (very common in comics).

It also seems like very basic infrastructure that could open up unforeseen uses by plugin authors.
