Ahh... sneaky. I'll probably do the combined-name#id method.

it though..
Lets say I'm trying to print out a page of products, and I want to
provide a list of brands to filter by. It would be great if in my
facets I could get this sort of xml...
<int name="adidas" id="1">45</int>
That way, I'd be able to know the brand id of adidas without having
to run a second query somewhere for each facet to look it up.
If you can get the name from the id in your webapp, then index the id
to begin with (instead of the name).
<int name="1">45</int>
Or, if you need both the name and the id, index them both together,
separated by a special character that you can strip out on the webapp
side...
<int name="adidas#1">45</int>
