AWS Policy Document "Sid" Field

This is a field that is usually generated by the policy generator but what happens when you copy and paste a policy? Is it safe to leave it unchanged? Or should it be changed to another value?

According to this blog post:

"The Sid (statement ID) is an optional identifier you provide for the policy statement. Essentially it is just a sub-ID of the policy document's ID. The Amazon S3 implementation of the access policy language require this element and have uniqueness requirements for it."

In this case, any identifier unique to the document should be sufficient, even "1", "2", "3" etc.
