Can clients count on blogUserInfos.userId having a "g" prefix?

I'm using the blogUserInfos struct as explorable here:

https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/blogger/v3/blogger.blogUserInfos.get

I'm determining the user ID and photo album ID for a blog, so I can upload 
images on the user's behalf from my blogging app.

The userId field in my tests comes back with something like:

"userId": "g840528510601118361226", 

But when I go to request an album from Picasa, it seems to want only the 
portion specified after the "g", for example to access a specific album:

https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/840528510601118361226/albumid/...

It seems like the numeric portion of the user ID is the only meaningful 
part to Picasa's API Is the g supposed to be some kind of namespacing 
marker? Will I ever get a userId back that doesn't match this format?

Thanks for your help,
Daniel
