Why does Illustrator mess with my SVG item ID's when I save?

for example, let's import file following objects:

 

 

 

 

<a id="1010_2_" xlink:href="#">

  <g>

    <path class="st1" d="m68.929,0.045v5.212c4.221,0,7.642,3.421,7.642,7.641h-7.642v0.832h6.611v103.806h-1.229h -0.253l-0.022-7.526 h-0.833v7.642c-3.032,0-5.545-1.662-6.78-4.224c-1.256,2.498-3.922,4.224-6.907,4.224v-7.642 h-0.924v7.525l-0.135,0.001h0v0 l68.929,0.045z"/>

  </g>

</a>

 

 

 

 

when save in illustrator, this:

 

 

<a id="_x31_010_x5f_2_x5f_" xlink:href="#" >

  <g>

    <path class="st9" d="m68.929,0.045v5.212c4.221,0,7.642,3.421,7.642,7.641h-7.642v0.832h6.611v103.806h-1.229h -0.253 l-0.022-7.526h-0.833v7.642c-3.032,0-5.545-1.662-6.78-4.224c-1.256,2.498-3.922,4.224-6.907 ,4.224v-7.642h-0.924v7.525 l-0.135,0.001h0v0l68.929,0.045z"/>

  </g>

</a>

 

 

any thoughts?

not sure expect. id's arbitrary , change in ai, recalculates/ reassigns them following own internal logic element ids. that's way is.
