Actually things work exactly the same way over there.... they just happen to have node titles that correspond to a lot of the numbers. So node=1978 might have a writeup saying the year Tim Vroom was born or other noteworthy events... if you try higher numbers you'll see that you're likely to get a "not found".

That's something I would like to see added though and it should be coming in the future.
