The GRI documentation did not state how text sequence names are keyed: names that spell the same number ('1', '01', '1.0') are the same key in the index, so a query for one spelling also returns rows filed under the others.

Add a short note where the guide introduces sourcing the reference sequence from a text column: distinct sequences need names that are distinct as numbers too, very long digit strings can collide through floating-point rounding, and integer rid columns are unaffected.
