I don't understand how using petnames, uuids or even a re:claimID
identity (see below) could solve the problem with "rewriting history" in
case a person wishes to change his or her previous _published_ name
(petname, uuid...) in an archived content-addressable storage system.
As a side note, other than the "petname system" please also consider
re:claimID from GNUnet:
