Have you tried? If not, how do you know?

Correct. This is their choice, for revenue protection and not security reasons, and I think it's down to the length of the number field on their online check-in app, because they used to accept driving licences and such when check-in was carried out manually. Many other airlines, however, do accept them.
BA last time I checked (a while ago) did not require photo ID, but did require something with your name on it, e.g. the credit card used on the booking. But I can't find the relevant bit of their website.
Unlike in the US, airport security do not check ID, just boarding cards.
