Not anything more than a pointer "IDs", which are useless for any persistency.

For LTGameJam2003 editor (http://jammy.sourceforge.net/2003) I've just 
generated unique names for entities and dumped all configuration into Lua 
file, which then was loaded by the game code.

However, I think that all this loading/setup stuff should not go into 
ODE "core" - it's too application specific. A "helper library" would be cool 
though.
