That's ok, Bill. All you have to do is change/modify/
update your (nic) handle / identifier.
(Just like updating a host/NS record in the database.)
Note: how long does it have to be presistant?
If you are acting as a role, eg. using [email protected]
then you want to delegate the role to the new hostmaster,
don't you?
Our original concern was to have a unique identifier
that spans to many databases (so that we avoid clashes), no?
The possibility to have identifiers clash can be reduced.
So my unique handle maybe
"budi.alliance.globalnetlink.com.budi.rahardjo.indonesia"
(email adress is *part of* unique handle)
My beef...: it's too long! But then again, it might
be easier to memorize than BR#72X%$@! ;-)
Maybe we don't have to memorize it either.
Or... we can go with a digital certificate.
(That may be too complicate since some countries may
restrict access to certain cryptography algorithms.)
Or ... find something else.
