My post was not to join the discussion but to give the history behind rule. As far as I am concerned NFHS 2008-09 Basketball Rules Interpretations Situation 2 covers the OP.

P.S. Everybody should remember that there are only ten numerals: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, but there are an infinite number of numbers.

Infinite numbers but may ways to express the same number.

1 = 01 = 001 = 0001 = 00001. It doesn't matter how many 0's you add in front if it, it is still the "number" 1.

Now, if you want to talk about strings, they're certainly not the same but players are identified by numbers, not strings.
