No the idea but it will let another node learn its specialization, which isn't the 
same thing. 
You'll learn of broad areas of hash space not single keys.

To probe someone's datastore for a particular key, the attack will be to just send him 
a request
with HTL 1.  I think you can defend against this some, if you probabalistically extend 
the HTL. 
Genenerally though what's in your datastore isn't supposed to be 100% encriminating, 
though with
some statistics it might be.
