I am not arguing with you because, I think your correct (you usually are).

I manually added the "Domain Users" group id (10000) with samba-tool 
(samba-tool group addunixattrs "Domain Users" 10000, I think without 
looking thru my notes) some time ago.

The member smb.conf has "idmap config WKDOM : range = 10000-999999" and 
gid started with 10000, should uid start at (for example) 10001 (for 
first user to be mapped) and increase sequence (+1 as in 10002) for 
subsequent users?

(Adding uid & gid manually, I am aware that I will need to keep a record 
of these.)

Guide lines you can point me to or confirm I am correct here?
