why not using something

cd:command id=cd:<number>

which makes it 'easier' to refer to them when discussing them (i hate 
funny keys -)

btw 1: i made a simple variation of texshow using texlua as webserver, 
just for local usage in editors like i do in scite)

btw 2: we can use the id also for related info as the one users can 
enter on the wiki; i can even imagine that we use such id's in the wiki 
examples (so that we can filter <wikisection command=cd:number>... )
