why would an i-name be reassigned?
why would an i-number not be reassigned?
who owns the i-number?
I thought that who is authorative for an i-name was managed by a
registry that was separate from the i-broker, and that mechanism
provided the separation of identifier management from IdP.
(clearly I am still ramping on i-names)
