That would probably require the author to be recognized by all the server
instances - so it would mean that a centralized authentication system would
have to be used (e.g. a canonical list of PGP public keys). If no changes
to existing objects are allowed and the default behaviour of requests is
to return the last object created with the specified key (and perhaps
signed with a particular PGP key, where the public key is included in the
request by the client), "supersedes" of objects happen automatically (the
newer objects become more popular, eventually the old ones die).
