(To be implemented) docket_parser() assigns two types of numbers:
the listed docket number (i.e., the number listed on the page) and
the unique identifier (i.e., the position of the docket entry on
the page). We should default to using the unique identifier, but
all of the legacy files will be using the listed identifier and we
will need to reassociate / convert those documents to their unique
identifier.
no_type = 'U' --> unique identifier
no_type = 'L' --> listed identifier
We have begun implementing this, but this is not completely finished.
Using the listed identifier should be considered legacy and not advised.
This will be dangerous in terms of redundant download protection.
Document this properly once we finish.
What other functions are affected by the switch to the unique identifier?
Is it primarily stuff that hasn't been written yet (document converter, etc.)?
How are previously downloaded documents named? (I believe it uses the listed identifier)
How are we naming documents that are downloaded now? (I believe we are using the unique identifier)
How should we name downloaded documents? (Probably the unique identifier; maybe prefix with a u/i)
