Right. I still prefer to get the nid in advance. It just feels safer. :p
False feeling ;) I don't see how it's safer.
Requesting an ID in advance is also a database-dependent feature. MSSQL and others let you do it through their built-in support of sequences, but MySQL only has auto-increment as far as I know. As convenient as auto-increment is, I think it will be harder to work around that if/when Drupal is moved to other databases than it is to use sequences. -Rowan
